Alejandro Valverde se ha dado este miércoles "un golpazo tremendo" con la barrera de seguridad de la urbanización en la que reside en Murcia. Debido a los fuertes dolores musculares, y pendiente de evolución (aunque en principio no se trate de una lesión grave), peligra su participación este jueves en la presentación de la Vuelta, según informó el Movistar a través de su cuenta de Twitter. Incluso, podría perderse su habitual estreno en la Challenge de Mallorca (26-29 de enero).

Purito Rodríguez tiene mono de competición, de conquistar victorias encima de una bicicleta. El catalán confirmó hace ya un tiempo que no competirá este 2017 en el ciclismo profesional pero, según ha asegurado al Diario ABC, estará en marzo pedaleando, junto al medallista olímpico José Antonio Hermida, por ganar la Cape Epic, prueba de gran relevancia en el mundo del Mountain Bike. Cambia la carretera por la montaña; se resiste a abandonar.
"No puedo abandonar el deporte. El corazón es un músculo demasiado potente y no conviene que deje de bombear", explica el excorredor del Katusha. Su vuelta, en principio, es para disputar la Cape Epic, una de las carreras más prestigiosas de la bici de montaña. Se probará y verá si continúa disputando nuevas carreras: "Bajando soy un patán. Eso sí, subiendo tienen que pillarme. Voy a probarme".
Los cambios en su vida, desde que anunciará su adiós, no han sido pocos. De estar con su familia días contados al año, a todo lo contrario: lleva los niños al colegio, frecuenta el cine más a menudo... ventajas del "jubilado". Pero claro, el mono de bicicleta difícilmente se le va y no ha tardado en comunicar que quiere volver a la competición. "He sentido el dolor en mis piernas desde los tres años y he disfrutado como un enano. Quiero seguir haciéndolo", asegura un Purito Rodríguez que, pese a pasarse al Mountain Bilke, seguirá ejerciendo en el Bahrain-Merida su labor como nexo entre directivos y ciclistas.

José Antonio Hermida and Joaquim Rodríguez at 2017 ABSA Cape Epic
Two giants of the world of cycling will form the high-powered MERIDA FACTORY RACING team to leave their mark on the 2017 ABSA Cape Epic. José Antonio Hermida and Joaquim Rodríguez (Purito) have shared many training miles over the years so now both riders have stepped back from the world of UCI World Cup Racing and the professional road racing world respectively, new challenges have been bubbling away in the back of their minds.
Former Mountain Bike World Champion José Antonio Hermida is no stranger to the ABSA Cape Epic and has been a prominent figure in the world’s biggest stage race. José has managed to secure a number of stage wins and top positions in the gruelling event and belongs to the prestigious ‘Amabubesi’ (translated: pride of lions) finisher club. Only riders who have finished the Cape Epic at least three times can call themselves members of the ‘Amabubesi’.
With an endless list of wins in some of the most prestigious and demanding road racing events in the world, paired with a natural ability to suffer just that little bit more, and his renown bike handling skills, Joaquim Rodríguez is the ideal partner for José in this new adventure. Joaquim finished the 2016 Tour de France in 7th position, demonstrating impressive strength even in the later part of his career.
Joaquim Rodríguez, although officially retired from the world of road racing, has taken on an active role in sharing his experience and knowledge with the younger and less experienced riders of the BAHRAIN MERIDA Pro Cycling Team and will accompany the team to most of the races of the 2017 season while still keeping his fitness at the highest level.The Spanish pair have been training partners for years and the combination of their physical ability, their friendship and the undeniable fighting spirit should make them an interesting pairing to watch over the duration of the Cape Epic.
The team will be wearing a unique design of the BAHRAIN MERIDA Pro Cycling Team jersey and will be equipped with one of the most capable stage racing bikes of today. Both riders will tackle the event aboard the superlight and hugely capable full carbon NINETY-SIX TEAM. The lightning fast full suspension bike will offer the perfect combination of agility, comfort and traction and will be specced with the latest equipment.
“This year the ABSA Cape Epic will be a particularly exciting event for me and for Purito as my team mate,” says José Antonio Hermida. “We have another high profile team in the event in George Hincapie and Cadel Evans. It will be my job to attack Cadel, while Purito will concentrate on keeping George under control,” José comments laughingly. He continues, “Me in particular, I am very excited to be back after having a break for a couple of years. The event itself, the organization, the other riders and the general spirit of the event have always treated me well and I am looking forward to going back. Especially after my retirement from the world of World Cup cross country racing I can put more effort into racing marathon and stage races. However, joining a new team setup (with Purito on my side) where I have to ‘guide’ a rider who has not yet been part of this event, will be an extra challenge. We have high expectations and are highly motivated and even without having any specific targets, we hope that we can leave our mark on this great event.”
Joaquim Rodríguez contributes, “I have had a fantastic start working with the BAHRAIN MERIDA Pro Cycling Team and I am looking forward to get involved in one of the biggest mountain bike events in the world. I am highly motivated and appreciated the opportunity to team up and to learn from José, one of the top mountain bike racers in the world. Our goal is to perform at the highest possible level, and our recent physical shape should put us in a very competitive position. But above all we want to have fun and enjoy this new adventure.”
