The cyclist from Ceará and Aço Cearense Comercial collaborator, Gilberto Silva, represented Ceará in the Brazilian stage of the Panamerican Road Paracycling Circuit and took 4th place. The event took place on August 24th and 26th, in São Caetano do Sul, state of São Paulo.
Gilberto has been sponsored by Instituto Aço Cearense for eight years and has already achieved more than 300 podiums. He is the current champion in the category in the 2017 Brazilian ranking. After being placed in the Panamericano, he is already among the top 4 in this year’s national ranking.
For Gilberto it was a real emotion to participate in a race like this. “In the first test I was 11 seconds away from the medal and at that moment a movie of our lives is played in our minds. Unfortunately, I suffered a lot with the cold in the endurance race, but I fought until the end”, explained the paracyclist, who reports being happy with the final result.
