The example of Leo Messi when overtaking a cyclist

The Argentine footballer, shared yesterday with the Eurosport website a video ahead of a cyclist on the road, respecting the meter and a half of security.

Football player Leo Messi on his rest day in the mountains after winning the two Clásicos against Real Madrid. The Barça star shared these moments of relaxation at the wheel listening to Abel Pinto (an Argentine singer) in the background, but the most striking thing was how they impeccably respected the traffic rules when they passed a cyclist.

Messi also recently received the gift of two racing road bikes, the same ones used by Team Sky and more recently by Mitchelton-Scott, although it is not known whether he uses them for sports practice or simply to get around.

In any case, this Messi maneuver at the wheel (understanding that it was his wife Antonella who made the video while the player was driving) is an example for society and for road safety education.

All an example that will reach many people and that will surely help to raise a little more awareness of the drivers.
