Raquel is a Spanish personal trainer at Ministry of Fitness, swimming and CrossFit coach at GB. 

Why Scorchio? It’s a long standing joke at Raquel’s work place, who thought the word was Spanish but it is Italian!

Raquel’s favourite colours are pink and blue and she enjoys listening to different music every day. On tour, we are likely to see her eating tortilla’s washed down with a cup of coffee.

So why Le Tour de Balls Trois?

Raquel says: “To cycle for those who can´t” "To challenge myself, to socialise and to raise money for helping others” but mostly because Lee asked me to join him and I couldn't say no.

What makes you special?

I don’t think I am special in any way. Just a common Spanish woman who found exercise as the best physical and psychological therapy. It has helped me through tough times, through sickness and lonely times of my life. So why not use something that has helped me so much to help others?

Thank you, Raquel, for taking part in Le Tour de Balls Trois and supporting It’s in the Bag.
