After finishing in tenth place at the Paris Olympics and with the upcoming XCO World Championship, which will take place at the end of August, the Spanish David Valero wanted to compete in a different discipline, one where he seems to have more qualities.

In the 2024 European XCM Championship, Valero competed against the best cyclists in the discipline and showed that he can stand out. In a fast race with a large leading group, Valero arrived at the finish line with the favorites and everything was decided in a sprint where the German Lukas Baum was the fastest.
