The passion for the Rally Islas Canarias is a widely shared sentiment within the island's society, transcending various spheres and capturing the interest of people from all walks of life. The presence of such a representative figure as the captain of UD Las Palmas, Kirian Rodríguez, turned his visit to the MSI Teo Martin Motorsport assistance area into a notable event.
After finishing his training in Barranco Seco, the footballer accepted the invitation and traveled to the rally's Service Park, located in Siete Palmas, to observe firsthand the complex logistics required for such a demanding event. He was accompanied by the club's general director, Patricio Viñayo.
During his visit, Kirian Rodríguez had the opportunity to get into the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, the vehicle with which the Gran Canarian co-driver, along with his partner, participates in the competition. The technicians present explained the equipment and the tuning processes of the car, answering all his questions and generating excitement among attendees.
“"It has been a pleasure and an honor to have a figure of Kirian's stature with us, he is an example for everyone. We were very happy to spend a pleasant time with him. We are sure it will serve as extra motivation for what lies ahead. We told him that just as we will try to do the best possible Rally, we hope he and UD will give us the joy of promotion to the First Division in a few weeks."
The meeting also included an exchange of jerseys between the footballer and the racing duo, sealing a memorable moment. The Sports Counselor of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, Aridany Romero, was also present, showing interest in the impressions of the participants.
