2. "I have a great passion for
bicycles, not only for riding but for
cycling in general. I usually say
that I learned to read with stories
about the Tour de France and
the Tour of Portugal.
Cycling is a sport of open space
that allows a great complicity
with nature. And I'm still the
young man who was born and
raised in the rural field of
Alentejo»
