Intultion del Arco, the reference to the institute of Badalona, Guttman at the institute of Guttman, Medular and Cerebral lesions, Neurouroreanability Hospital, told itself that he would not re -run the Titan desert, which is one of the most difficult competitions of mountain cycling. It was in 2015, when a gastroenteritis made him a cavity in the 10th edition of the mythological test. Ten years later, not only returns to the desert of Morocco, but is it with: it will run with a team of nine people, with marrow lesions in two of them and two with other brain injuries.

They will be a team without boundaries and boundaries that dispute the Titan Desert from 1 to 6 May, with the challenge of “passing the tibba and finishing”, after a 550 km travel in six stages. This will be the first time a customized bicycle, hand-bike (it is pedaling with weapons), 50 kg weight, they are found in the sand of this race.
“This is true, I told myself that I will never come back again, but this year Titan’s 20 years, 60 -year -old institute gutman and 60 years old, and decided to redirect my personal goal, which is to make a podium to make a podium to work with patients from the institute,” patients.
They integrate the gutman team after an entire “casting” among older patients and active personnel, physiotherapists Mikel Sario and Roger Rifa, Nursing Assistant Alphonso Rubio and Doctors Jesusus Benito, a neurorehabitor doctor, and patients, and the colamistics, and the colamist Institute: Enaki Mujika, Navarro Motorcycle Mechanic and Motocross Pilot who fractured the column in 2021; Pablo Monto, Fire Fighter, also Navaro, who had a core wound by climbing in 2021; Jose Antonio Bugrin, Buga, Galician, who suffered a cranoidlic trauma for resentment with a road with a road and were brain sequels; And Christian Castes, Sarri de Ter, who also got angry with the road bike and faced brain damage and a shortage of left legs five centimeters.
Ambitious challenge
“The worst will be to pass the tibba, the handbikes will drown in the sand, although we take them to Harnes to pull them … but each cyclist will have 50 kg plus 70 or 80 … we will try. This is a challenge”
After being able to work in the upcoming migration on Los Monagros (never with the entire team) and Costa Brava, the Gutman team set as a great goal to finish the Titan desert to know the difficulty. Very difficult for the desert and clues of the stones, the difficulty of the project has been included: none of the nine is a cyclist, “three have bought a bike for the occasion”, and four of them have physical or cognitive boundaries.
“The worst will be to pass the tibba, the handbike (50 kg) will be drowned in the sand, although we take them to Harnes to pull them … but 50 kg of each cycle driver will be 70 or 80 … We will try. It is a challenge,” he explains about the arc, which the title of the title has initially denied them. “They said that they cannot, that they will not be able to be able to. And also because two bikes are electric, not recruited by regulation.” Half a year ago, in November, he accepted, but two electric handbikes would go out of the competition. Nevertheless, the challenge is still royal.
