1. PREFACE

Ever since the beginning of bicycle racing, the mystic appeal of its great competitions – which comes from the fact that cy-

cling is a very demanding sport which praises noble values such as spirit of sacrifice and abnegation, amongst others – has led to the rise of many heroes, who inspired millions of fans; fans who loyally pass on, generation after generation, the cult of “The Braves of the Road”.

This phenomenon was for many years culturally closed to women, even if, every now and then, a few fantastic women would leave their successful, indelible mark in bicycle racing – women such as the Italian Alfonsina Strada, who participated in the 1924 Italian Tour, thus beginning the female emancipation concerning two wheels and also earning respect and admiration for the female competitors, as well as their right to affirm themselves as worthy of competing in this great modality.

The modern era came to erase some obstacles. However, young women like

Daniela Reis – who humbly learned to use in life

the same weapons that lead her, both in training and competition, to success – deserve the definite recognition from society and, in particular, from sports agents, who, even in the present adverse circumstances should not bargain for sponsors and solutions that would allow these predestinated young women a balanced sports practice; a practice that may lead them to a high performance consistent with the expected physical and psychological potential.

In closing, I wish to give a word of esteem from someone who also had to cross many barriers and sacrifice a lot to thrive in bicycle racing. Congratulation, Daniela!

THE STORY OF A TEN-TIME CHAMPION Born in Torres Vedras, birthplace of great Champions of National Bycicle Racing – including the legendary

Joaquim Agostinho,

it is in the municipality of Sobral de Monte Agraço that Daniela Reis grew up and currently lives.

Daniela started to take an interest in cycling just for fun, by joining her Father and some friends on organized rides and short mountain biking rides, showing

When she was 16, Daniela was challenged

great potential from the very beginning.

by Manuel Martins – ACD Milharado’s Sports

Director – to take on road bicycle racing. She took the challenge, joining the female team and earning her place on the road.

Since then, the

humility and dedication which characterize great champions have led her

to succeed in the Junior category, in which she accumulated national titles in the Road Cycling and Track Cycling modalities.

Her excellent performance caught the attention of the National Selector and she is selected in 2011, while still in the Junior category, to integrate the

National Elite Team.

The rest of her story follows in the next pages.

AN ATYPICAL SEASON Daniela’s premiere season in the

Elite category was met with some competitive hesitation,

heavily influenced by the lack of competitions in Portugal during that year and by some injuries which compromised her performance.

PREMIERE IN WORLD ELITE A year of change and affirmation.

This year brought a new team, new sponsors and participations in several

international competitions as part of the Portu-

guese National Team, where she proved to be the most well prepared Portuguese athlete to compete with the European and World Elite.

Having deservedly earned the trust of the National Selector, he recruited Daniela to participate in the Under-23

European Championship, and to represent Portugal in the World Championship in Ponferrada.

Here, Daniela was given the unique opportunity to socialize with and learn from some of the best cyclists in the world who integrated the Portuguese team; among them the World Champion Rui Costa.
