Llopis (Bellreguard, 2000) is currently concentrated in Tenerife and Its debut this season will take place on January 31 in Miramas (France).

He can also attend the WIT in Madrid and the World Cup in Nanjing (China).
The hurdler said he would love to fight in Valencia and encouraged the Grand Prix to evolve to move up a category. “Having a Bronze category rally is the minimum for a city that I think deserves to raise its level and reach Silver or even Gold.why not It will be wonderful. I really want to compete in Valencia,” he said.
besides He was happy with the act of donating the proceeds to those affected by DANA on October 29. “I hope it won’t be necessary, but I am excited to see what the result is for the whole of Valencia and also for the whole of Spain.
