The former Navarrese cyclist, who is repeating after his presence in last year’s edition, has stated that it is a great experience, despite the hardness of the race: “The landscapes that you pass through Morocco, both in the Atlas and then in the desert, they are spectacular, in addition to the coexistence of trying to get everyone to finish the test. You have a hard time, but you also want to come back. I am going to try to finish and enjoy the team we have.”

Oscar Pereiro, who also knows what it is to conquer the Tour de France, will compete in this test for the third time in the dunes of Morocco. The Galician has pointed out the most complicated thing when competing in a test like the Titan Desert: “The difficult thing is to spend so many hours without resting your legs. You stand up out of necessity rather than obligation. The psychological suffering is not seeing absolutely anything on the horizon and not knowing where it ends.

Another member of the Kosner-Saltoki Home team will be Luis Leon Sanchez, winner of 4 stages of the Tour de France and a Paris-Nice, who last year already participated in the Škoda Titan Desert Almería and in the NEOM Titan Desert Saudi Arabia. The Murcian has assured that he faces the challenge with great enthusiasm, despite it being the first time he has competed in the Moroccan event: “We know what we are going to in Morocco. The best thing is to share a team with these stars: with Pereiro I was lucky to do it in professionals and Miguel has been my idol since I was a child. We are going to try to learn as much as possible. The best thing is day to day. I am the rookie of the team in Morocco and for me everything is going to be new. In Saudi Arabia I already had to learn the navigation, in Almería to go down as quickly as possible, and now we will try to be close to the competitors.

Together with the entire team and, of course, with Miguel Induráin, he will share the jersey, as they did in Banesto, his brother Pruden Induráinwho highlighted how he prepares before running the race and his objectives for the race: “We learn quickly. We have physical trainers at our disposal and they send us some guidelines. We are trying to follow them. I am going to try not to suffer too much and arrive with joy to enjoy the camp. I want to have the hope, which I had lost, to compete.”
