Aitor Tomás (born July 14, 1986) is the founder of Kinesi, a health and sports clinic in Sant Feliu de Guíxols that has attracted international figures like Paulo Dybala, Paula Badosa, and Dani Pedrosa. His entry into elite sports was gradual, starting through local word-of-mouth. A turning point was cyclist Joaquim 'Purito' Rodríguez, who connected him with the world of speed, leading him to work with Aleix Espargaró and Albert Arenas in the MotoGP World Championship for six seasons.
“"When you work with athletes of this caliber, the responsibility is huge. An elite athlete is like a Formula 1 car; not just any mechanic can touch it because they operate so close to the limit that they require perfect work."
Regarding tennis player Paula Badosa, who has suffered discomfort since her stress fracture in 2023, Tomás is optimistic. He states they have changed their approach, focusing on the complexity of tennis, a highly demanding sport for the pelvis. He was also key in the recovery of Paulo Dybala before the Qatar World Cup, a task he described as a challenge due to media pressure. 'We could say we played our part in Messi's World Cup,' he affirms.
“"I can explain it now because it recently came to light, but Martín said goodbye to his partner after the Qatar accident because he thought he was going to die."
Currently, Tomás accompanies riders like Fermín Aldeguer, Pedro Acosta, and Jorge Martín. Regarding Martín, who has suffered complicated injuries, he stresses that physical recovery is not the main issue, but rather the psycho-emotional aspect, especially after the serious accident in Qatar. He also highlights the toughness of the riders: 'They are people, but also superheroes. They have a tolerance for pain that cannot be matched in any other sport.'
