If you look closely at this photograph, possibly most of the blog friends who come out in this table are unknown types. All but one, Miguel Indurain. But today I wanted to write the only man in the image color. His name is Miguel Angel Landa and his family name. Except in Estella, where he is president of his club cyclist, not a type not known or popular.
Tonight Estella presented in the Grand Prix Miguel Indurain, a professional cycling race to be held there. For the city and the province is an important date in the calendar. During the presentation, Miguel Angel Landa took the floor, explained the details test and in the end, when he started with thanks, something that is usually done in such acts, failed to finish because it has taken to mourn as a Madalena. He has overcome the emotion. And people Induráin the first, left him to cry at home, which is moved, then give him a big applause as meaning, sincere and deserved.
Landa has 7 years as president of CCEstella. Leading such an entity is not like being president of a big football club to go from stage to stage and total free here and there to appear. Niente. Leading a cycling club is a carat brown. The president is the heart of the activity. If it stops, the body does not work, it dies. He is the one who organizes the races. And that goes from door to door asking for a per-company money to fund (in this sport no cover charge), to put hurdles on the track at six in the morning, collect, manage teams, everything goes well, eat the troubles of the falls, negotiate with insurance ... and all for love, because it exacts a hard (sometimes even put in your pocket), you remove tons of family time, work-especially if you are self-and even health costs, as has Michel spent the good.
Without people like Miguel Angel Landa sports are as cycling becomes unviable. Many times we talk about dark work, in the shade, in the most absolute of anonymous, no shine no more reward than a thank you shift runner reaching the goal is half dead and well attended. Michel is a textbook example. To guys like this only make it three. Stand, clap and say a THANK capitalized.
