"I am very happy and thank the CODEME, as they award only the best of all disciplines of the sports in our country. Closing a year of so many experiences with a award like the “Olmec Fighter” means a lot because one is concentrated 100% in the races and does not think about awards. Never the less when it happens, it is a great incentive and remembers us about all the effort we live race after race, all the traveling and the time away from home, it is worth it!” explains the Mexican.
