Startline Ep 14 - A toda máquina siempre: Victor Ortega Pérez
In today’s episode, we sit down with Victor Ortega Pérez, a rider from Spain who is one of the most dedicated international competitors at the Manx Grand Prix. Victor first tackled the Mountain Course in 2019, grabbing an impressive ninth place in the Newcomers A race and making his debut in the Junior MGP. But today, Victor’s isn't just talking about his own progress - he shares advice for anyone taking on the Manx Grand Prix for the first time - from preparation, to mindset, to surviving the learning curve of the world’s most demanding road circuit. As part of a growing wave of international riders drawn to the Island, Victor knows exactly what it takes to get to the Island and he has one of the biggest smiles in the paddock. You can follow Victor on Facebook here and on Instagram here - and he would be more than happy to hear from anyone looking for some guidance as they aim to the MGP for the first time. I also interviewed Victor for the Journey to a Dream podcast a little while ago, and you can find that here. Startline is on Facebook and Instagram too, so please give the pages a follow and keep up to date with the latest episodes. And if you'd like to be part of the podcast, you can email Beth - it's beth@startline.im
