Diego Pablo Sevilla

At the age of six, his cousin Carlos took him for a bike ride around his village, and from that moment on Diego started riding in the Agrupación Ciclista de San Martín de la Vega, his first club. His first races were in MTB and at the age of 13 he tried road racing with U.C. San Sebastián de los Reyes. No one could have imagined at that time that in 2023 he would compete in the Giro d’Italia, where he made his debut last season. Diego has been with the Alberto Contador Foundation since his first year as a cyclist and in 2018 he moved to the pros with his first continental project. He was Spanish cyclocross champion in 2012 and in 2014 he competed in the Cyclocross World Championships (Hoogerheide) and the Road World Championships (Ponferrada). He is a rider who does well on medium mountain courses, which gives him a great advantage thanks to his excellent speed. In 2017 he attended a training camp with the Belgian Quick Step team. He is the middle son of three brothers (Felipe and Carlos). He completed his studies of Higher Technician in Physical and Sports Animation (TAFAD) and is characterised by his role as a domestique and courageness in the breakaways, always at the service of the team leaders. The reward of the Giro d’Italia is also that of a cyclist who has grown along with the Alberto Contador Foundation, reaching the top. He loves to eat Cocido Madrileño (a typical meal from Madrid) and his hobby is… cycling. His favourite place is Ares, a small town in Galicia where his family owns a house.
