Sebastian Molano: Winning my first stage at La Vuelta makes all the sacrifices worthwhile

thenationalnews.com

Winning my first World Tour stage as a professional cyclist is something I have dreamed of since I can remember. It’s what dragged me out of bed every morning, motivated me to train to my maximum every day, and stay disciplined throughout my life to continually strive towards that first victory.

On September 11, 2022, that dream came true. La Vuelta. Stage 21. Madrid, Spain. I remember vividly feeling really strong that morning.

The blood was pumping, the muscles were relaxed, and I was in an extremely clear and focused headspace. As a professional sportsman, you often search for that zone where you feel invincible.

A place of physical, mental, and emotional harmony where nothing can affect your mindset. It was an incredible place to be, and I had a feeling I could produce a strong performance and place one of our riders on the podium, in what was the final stage of the Grand Tour event.
