Professional former cyclists such as Agustín Tamames, Lale Cubino and Santiago Blanco participated in the expedition, together with some 350 fans from the Salamanca cycling schools and relatives of the young woman’s boyfriend.
The march started from the Sánchez Paraíso multipurpose pavilion
The cyclists gathered in the Sánchez Paraíso multipurpose pavilion in Salamanca at 10 in the morning and from there they left, carrying flowers, until they reached the height of the Villares de la Reina industrial estate, where the fatal accident occurred around 6:30 p.m. on the 9th. February.
Upon arrival, they left their flowers in tribute to Estela Domínguez, who was training in that area near Salamanca, where she was studying, when a trucker “got distracted” or “was dazzled by the sun”, according to the hypotheses currently being considered by the Civil Guard investigation. The young woman died instantly.
Brilliant and promising career of the young cyclist
In this morning’s tribute at that fateful point, more respect was requested for cyclists who ride on the road and the brilliant and promising career of the young cyclist was remembered with a “Come on, Estela!”.
Estela Domínguez was from Valladolid but studied at the University of Salamanca (USAL) and that is why she trained in the outskirts of the city. Yesterday hundreds of people said goodbye to her in Íscar (Valladolid), where her funeral was officiated.
The athlete was the daughter of Juan Carlos Domínguez, a professional excicist who came to win a stage in the Giro d’Italia. Dominguez finished seventh in January at the Spanish Cyclocross Championship in Vic and was summoned by the Spanish Cycling Federation to participate in the Cyclocross World Cup that same month in Benidorm.
