Caja Rural sign Gorka Sorarrain - The Spanish revelation who was a full-time engineer and picked up cycling in the pandemic
CyclingTuesday, 01 August 2023 at 13:08
Gorka Sorarrain, a young 27-year-old cyclist from Tolosa, has lived an experience that feeds the illusions and fills the hearts of all those who dream of great stories and impossible surprises. In just three years since he started in the world of cycling, this athlete has managed to position himself as one of the best cyclists in Spain.
The Spanish Championship was the stage on which Sorarrain demonstrated his talent and dedication by reaching fifth place, only behind four big names in national cycling: Oier Lazkano, Juan Ayuso, Álex Aranburu and Jesús Herrada. For Sorarrain, the result was a true feat, almost a miracle that has made Caja Rural - Seguros RGA sign him.
The moment of truth came in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, where Sorarrain faced frenetic final moments, full of adrenaline and excitement. With only 200 meters to go, he thought he was leading the competition, but was soon overtaken by Ayuso and Aranburu. The medal seemed to be within his reach, but he was finally overtaken by Herrada and finished fifth.
Despite not achieving the desired medal, the young cyclist felt excited and proud to have competed at the highest level alongside riders who participate in the World Tour throughout the year. The joy shared with his family was immense, and although the result was unexpected for him, Sorarrain assures to have given the best of himself.
Gorka Sorarrain's story is not the typical one of an elite cyclist in Spain, since just two years ago he did not even know what it was to compete. His foray into cycling was during the pandemic, when he started training on a roller and, little by little, he stood out in the cycling world.
His progression was notorious and thanks to his good results, he had the opportunity to join the Baqué team. Although at the end of the year he could not continue competing as an amateur due to his age, the Angolan team Bai-Sicasal offered him an opportunity to continue growing in cycling, which he took advantage of at the Spanish Championships.
Until now, cycling was not yet his main occupation, as he worked as a full-time engineer. We imagine that after his signing with Caja Rural he will ask for a leave of absence from his job.
Gorka Sorarrain's story is inspiring and touches all those who believe in dreams and the ability to overcome. His rise from amateur to the elite of Spanish cycling is an example of perseverance and passion for the sport, and he will surely continue to leave his mark on the cycling world in the years to come.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
