The mayor of Utiel, Ricardo Gabaldón, and the Councilor for Sports, Ricardo Febré, received Calaf at the town hall to congratulate him on a sporting career marked by effort and excellence.
During the meeting, Xavi Calaf detailed the demanding circuit of the cup, which included top-level international races in locations such as Calpe, the Italian Dolomites, the German Black Forest, Alicante, and Gerona, the venue where he mathematically secured the title.
“"Achieving results like these in competitions of such international caliber represents, without a doubt, one of the greatest sporting aspirations for any cyclist. It is the pinnacle of invisible and constant work."
The council emphasized the 'invisible work' involved in balancing work and training, enduring tough training sessions in all weather conditions, and maintaining rigorous dietary and physical preparation.
The Utiel City Council congratulates Xavi Calaf for bringing the municipality's name to the highest level of international sport and becoming an inspiration for local young athletes.
