Everything ready for the start of the spectacular second Titan Forest Patagonia

Today starts in Castle Hillin the extreme south of Argentine Patagonia, a new edition of the Titan Forest Patagonia. Ahead, four spectacular and tough stages, for a total of 332 kilometers of mountain biking and 323 of gravel.

This is, without a doubt, the great novelty of the race and the Titan Series, a duplication that will also be experienced again from April 25 to 30 in the Skoda Titan Desert Morocco. “There are eight different routes, four mountain bike and four gravel. There are common kilometers, but in the more technical trail areas I separate the gravel cyclists to do the track more,” he tells MD from Cerro Castillo Manu Tajada, sports director of the Titan World Series.

This passionate adventurer says that “of all the locations of the Titan World Seriesthe Patagonia test is the most adventurous and least competitive due to the distance component, the type of routes and the race format. It is a place very far from what we are used to doing and the landscapes are unique. We are at the foot of Castle Hill, a mountain that is above the camp, the most beautiful part of the route.”

This year 115 participants are competing, 26 of them in the gravel category, double last year’s number, and among the cyclists who aspire to glory we must closely follow Oriol Colomé, Ondrej Fojtik, Pipo Rodríguez and Ana Ramírez on MTB already Daniel Moreno in gravel.

This Monday the race begins with the longest and steepest day, starting in Castle Hill and final in Puerto Sánchez, on the banks of the General Carrera Lake.
