Brazilian under-23 champion of road cycling and time trial, Tota has always enjoyed playing sports since she was a child. Carioca, he came to play soccer in teams in Rio de Janeiro, as a child, but in his early teens, at the age of 13, he fell in love with the bike when he saw his family leave for a commemorative pedal to Christ the Redeemer. She can't go on the ride, but she's trained a lot from that day on.

For 2023, Tota will compete on the European circuit at the highest level of world cycling. The expectation of the cyclist, who will represent the Spanish team Bizkaia Durango, is to be able to evolve and learn in this important career step.
