(Santander, Spain)- In the Cantabrian region there are many excellent,
world-class sportsmen. Many are cycling, soccer and basketball stars
that win medals at an Olympic level or play professionally on such teams
as Real Madrid or Barcelona. In that rarified air is none other than
Pichu Torcida. A jury of the board of the Sports Press Association of
Cantabria (APDC) and the heads of the major sports media in the region,
selected eleven winners across a range of sports. Pichu's team is
recognized as the "Best Team of Cantabria 2010" for their victory in the
J/80 Worlds in Newport, RI. The entire team won the award, including
his team-mates Carlos Martinez, Javier de la Plaza and Juan Gonzalez of
Real Club Maritimo de Santander. For more info on Pichu's awards for sailing.
