Iúri Leitão, the “flying pig” wearing a medal on his chest during the pilgrimage procession – Sunday

The helmet features a winged pig, a nod to the sense of humor of Iúri Gabriel Dantas Leitão, nicknamed “The Flying Pig,” a double reference to his family nickname and his “flying” speed on a bicycle. Interestingly, the National Velodrome is located in Sangalhos, in the heart of Bairrada… and roasted suckling pig.
