Andorra, July 31, 2019. The 5th edition of La Purito Andorra, a landmark sports event with which Andbank has collaborated since its launch, has reached the threshold of 2,700 registered participants for this year’s edition: 200 more than originally planned.

This milestone consolidates La Purito on its fifth anniversary and paves the way for a massive competition on August 4, in which its participants will pedal between the towns of Sant Julià de Lòria and Els Cortals d’Encamp.

In 2019, the race will also feature a stellar line-up of VIP sportsmen. In addition to the presence of Joaquim “Purito” Rodríguez himself and Perico Delgado, winner of the 1988 Tour de France, it will also welcome the Olympic medalist in Athens 2004 José Antonio Hermida, the 26-time trial world champion Toni Bou, and the second classified in the Tour de France of 2002 Joseba Beloki, alongside veterans such as Angel Edo and Javi Sancho, a comedian based in Andorra and a regular collaborator of Santi Millán and José Corbacho.

Andbank has also announced the raffle of a bicycle courtesy of the manufacturer Kanaola, open to the participation of both participants and all clients of the bank, who can collect their ballots at any of its 9 offices in Andorra.

The winner will be announced at the Purito’s village, which will be installed on Saturday, August 3 at the Plaça Germandat in San Julià De Lòria, and will remain open from 10:00am to 2:00pm and from 4:00pm to 8:00pm.

In the village, participants will be able to pick up their bib numbers at the Centre Cultural i de Congressos Lauredià and enjoy up to 20 stands of the different collaborators and sponsors of the race. Andbank customers will also have access to a private lounge.

The announcement of the raffle winner will be made during the traditional briefing by “Purito” Rodríguez and the comedian Javi Sancho, which will begin at 6:30pm. This year it will feature Perico Delgado, and Andorra Televisió will air a special broadcast sponsored by Andbank both through its website and TV station.

Andbank’s support for La Purito Andorra is part of its commitment to Andorran sports, reflected not only in the cycling event, but also throught its support to the Andorran Olympic Committee (COA), the cross-country ski team of the Andorran Ski Federation (FAE) and the Andorran Swimming Federation (FAN).
