Fernando Tercero

Successful on the bike, studious off the bike, Fernando has completed his university studies in Agricultural Engineering at the University of Castilla-La Mancha. A brave and offensive climber, he has found his place in cycling with great performances in the toughest races in Italy and France. At Fernando’s house, the television broadcast of the Tour de France after lunch was an unavoidable appointment. It was there that he developed a passion for cycling that, little by little, encouraged him to try his hand at the sport. At the age of ten he joined a cycling club in Valdepeñas (Ciudad Real), where he began to compete. He liked the experience and since then he has not stopped competing. The victory in the Volta Galicia 2022 decided his jump to the first team of the Fundación Contador. As a professional, he has looked for his chances on the toughest of days. In 2024, a cytomegalovirus kept him out of competition for more than half the season. With tenacity and strength, he has managed to recover and shine again on the bike. Fernando’s favourite food is pizza and a perfect holiday, in the mountains, in the Alps. He has a pet dog, a German shepherd named Toby. Fernando’s dream is to win a stage in a Grand Tour.
