Agua Marina Espinola Salinas Paraguay
A multiple national champion and the first-ever cyclist to represent Paraguay at an Olympic Games, 25-year old Agua Marina Espinola Salinas joins the team as the more experienced rider. Having lived and raced in Europe at various times over the last five years, Agua will be the unofficial road captain of CANYON//SRAM Generation.
“This is a big hope for me. Since I started cycling, I sadly discovered how challenging it is to come from lesser-known countries and find a place in professional cycling. The fact that such an important team such as CANYON//SRAM Racing believes in this project and has provided this opportunity is amazing and a sign that things can change for the better. I’m really happy to be part of this change and to have this opportunity.”
