Continues the activity despite the season is winding down.
Last Saturday in Guadix (ESP) was held the XXXI edition of the Gran Premio Ciudad de Guadix in 2016 valid also for the XII Memorial Manuel Alcalde.
We remember that Manuel Alcalde, unfortunately died prematurely, was a great Spanish athlete and then he was the one who contributed to the technical growth of the wonderful gem that was Francisco Javier Fernandez.
Rightly, the organizer of the Grand Prix Ciudad de Guadix, Daniel Jacinto Garzon Jimenez, has long wanted to match the edition of the Grand Prix to the name of the illustrious personage passed away.
