Ibiza has lived this Tuesday, January 6, 2026<\/strong>, a morning full of emotion and solidarity thanks to La Vuelta a Ibiza MTB Siroko by Shimano<\/strong>. The organization of the historic sporting event has kicked off the commemorative events of its 25th anniversary<\/strong> with a very special action at the Can Misses Hospital<\/strong>, coinciding with the celebration of Three Kings Day<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The aim of the initiative was to bring hope and joy to the children in the hospital<\/strong>, turning a difficult day for many families into a memory full of hope and closeness.<\/p>\n

A journey full of humanity<\/h2>\n

The visit was led by Juanjo Planells, organizer of the event<\/strong>, along with several members of the Vuelta a Ibiza MTB Siroko by Shimano team. Accompanied by Eduardo Escudero Cuadrillero, manager of the Can Misses Hospital<\/strong>, they have toured different areas of the center, greeting and sharing moments with hospitalized children and their families. <\/p>\n

During the morning, the retinue passed through different services, stopping to talk to the little patients and convey the positive spirit<\/strong> that characterizes the cycling event.<\/p>\n

Bicycles as gifts for Epiphany<\/h2>\n

One of the most emotional moments of the day was the delivery of bicycles <\/strong>to some of the children in the hospital, thus fulfilling one of their greatest wishes on a day as important as Epiphany. A gesture that has brought smiles and filled with illusion both the children and their families. <\/p>\n

The solidarity action continued in the maternity area<\/strong>, where the organization wanted to share this symbolic detail with the newborns and their parents, before ending the tour in the emergency department<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An anniversary that starts with social commitment<\/h2>\n

Juanjo Planells has highlighted the deep sense of this initiative at the beginning of the 25th anniversary of the event. “The Vuelta a Ibiza MTB was born out of sport and commitment to our island,” he<\/strong> said, stressing that there was no better way to start this celebration than being close to those who need it most.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted the human component of the action<\/strong>, recalling that “seeing the excitement of the children and their families on a day as special as Epiphany” gives meaning to all the effort behind the event.<\/p>\n

Planells concluded by emphasizing that, although the bicycle is the symbol of the MTB Tour of Ibiza, on this occasion what was really important was to share a moment of joy, hope and companionship<\/strong> with the little patients.<\/p>\n
