Who are you, and what do you do? Tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Joaquín Rodríguez, in the cycling world I’m known by the nickname PURITO, and I am a former professional cyclist, ambassador for various cycling-related brands. I organize a Gran Fondo in Andorra called La PURITO Andorra, and I also work on TV broadcasting professional races in Spain.
