At just 8 years old, this isn’t just a kid riding bikes for fun.
He’s already starting to make a name for himself.
A Young Talent to Watch
Samuel Pérez Lorenzo, from San Miguel de Abona, has been recognised by the Cabildo as one of the promising names in motocross in the Canary Islands.
And it’s not just talk… the results are already there.
What He’s Achieved
- Competing for 3 years already
- Regularly finishing on the podium
- 1st place in Mini SX (2026)
Not bad for someone still in primary school.
More Than Just Results
What stood out during the recognition wasn’t just performance…
It was the usual things that actually matter long term:
- Consistency
- Discipline
- Putting the work in
The kind of traits that decide whether someone sticks at it.
Backing from the Island
The Cabildo used the moment to highlight the importance of grassroots sport…
And supporting young athletes before things get serious.
Because that’s usually where it’s won or lost.
Worth Keeping an Eye On
Plenty of young talents come and go…
…but the ones already getting results and staying consistent this early tend to stick around.
