The Panamanian cycling brand Rali sponsors the amateur and development team Natural Greatness – Alé in Spain, where young Panamanians Emanuel Viané, Dier Ríos, Antony Cortes, and Noemy Atencio will compete. For these young athletes, this opens a door to change their lives through sport.
Behind this is a clear reason: to provide real opportunities. Rali has been betting on cycling as a tool for social transformation for years. This is also where the Fundación Panamá en Bici was born, created to defend life on the streets, promote coexistence between cars and cyclists, and prevent tragedies.
The foundation has installed thousands of fences and signs, promoted seminars and conventions, worked with transporters and institutions, and managed to get the traffic decree passed into law. A scenario that once seemed distant is now a reality.
The 2026 calendar will be demanding. It also invests in the future. The Solution Tech – Vini Fantini – Rali team will compete in key events where Panamanians will seek to elevate their level with their eyes on the Central American Games, Pan American Games, and the big dream: the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
But Rali is not only betting on the present. Panama is not here for a pleasure trip: it is here to compete head-on and without fear. Currently, the team is competing in the Vuelta a la Comunidad Valenciana, where Panamanian national champion Roberto González has been a protagonist, measuring wheel to wheel with world-class figures like Remco Evenepoel, a multiple world and Olympic champion.
The result speaks for itself: up to 80% fewer accidents and much more humane coexistence on the roads. Today, Panama is not just racing in Europe. It competes, invests, and leaves its mark.
Alongside the professional Solution Tech – Vini Fantini – Rali team, the company competes at the highest level in Europe with the new Rali Evolve elite bicycle, a model tested in the Princeton wind tunnel, reserved only for the world's major brands. In that peloton of luxury, there is also a Panamanian seal. Roberto González, Franklin Archibold, and Carlos Samudio are part of the team, which brings together riders from Italy, Japan, Serbia, Slovenia, Uzbekistan, and other countries with cycling traditions.
The Panamanian bicycle brand Rali is making a name for itself in the big leagues of international cycling. It has taken an active role, pressuring, collaborating, and pushing public policies. The message is clear: the bicycle has the same right as a car to use the street. Although this task corresponds to the State, the foundation decided not to cross its arms.
