Álex Martín renews his contract with EOLO KOMETA
The EOLO KOMETA team for the 2024 season continues to get defined. To the already published incorporations of Jhonatan Restrepo, Fran Muñoz and Paul Double; as well as the renewals of the Bais brothers, Mirco Maestri and Diego Pablo Sevilla, it is added the continuity with the colours of the climber Álex Martín.
The Catalan cyclist continues to grow in the structure that saw him compete in U19 and U23, with great success: “Renewing with EOLO is to be able to continue doing what I like in the team in which I have grown up and I have been almost all my life, since junior. A privilege that I am very grateful for and that I am sure I will be able to take advantage of by achieving good results next season”. This year we have already seen him in the fight against the best riders in the world in races like the Circuito de Getxo or the Tour of Hungary with great performance: “I loved the feelings i had especially in Getxo, because when you get to the finish line satisfied it motivates you to look for those sensations in future competitions”.
With a climbing profile, Álex Martín has also been a fundamental rider for the team in races like the Vuelta a Asturias, with the victory of Lorenzo Fortunato and the great work of his teammates controlling the race. “I consider myself a cyclist who is good in the mountains, whenever the road gets steeper I can show my best version”. For 2024, he will be looking to “take a step forward, establish myself as a climber and shine in the mountains and also contribute to the team. I would love to be able to deserve to ride the Giro d’Italia, which in the end is what we all long for. But not only to participate, but to do it well”, the cyclist adds.
Another home-grown cyclist, who undoubtedly makes the Contador Foundation’s project of training riders from a young age and allowing them to become great professional cyclists a reality: “My example serves to validate all the work that is done and also the commitment to maintain this philosophy. The team continues to grow, it has enormous aspirations and we are still here with team-mates with whom I have shared the peloton from the lower categories, and I value that very much”. Álex Martín will continue to proudly defend a jersey that he will honour for the third season as a professional.
Jesús Hernández, sport director of EOLO KOMETA, values the continuity of the rider: “He is still a young rider, who is growing little by little and who has very good details in race. He is an asset for the future that we have to take care of and in whom we have a good chance of success”.
