Since the last issue of Telefoot and the end of the European Women’s Championship, Bixente Lizarazu can finally enjoy a few moments of rest after another busy season for the 98 world champion. Having become one of the most popular football experts on television, he has the chance to comment on the matches of the French teams on TF1 with his shock partner, Grégoire Margotton. A pair who get along both on and off the air, but when he’s not in Paris for work, the 52-year-old former defender spends most of his time in his native region, the Pays Basque.
Born in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Bixente Lizarazu is very proud of his region and he does not hesitate to represent it as soon as he can on his Instagram account. He has also started a very good-natured little squabble with journalist Anne-Sophie Lapix, also from the Basque Country, and the two make their subscribers laugh on social networks. Besides that, Claire Keim’s companion is a sports fanatic and he doesn’t go a day without doing it. If he is more into martial arts all year round, when he gets home, he puts on his cycling suit.
It’s a pleasure this first 100 km of the season after a necessary break of 6 weeks
As he has just shared with his 235,000 subscribers on Instagram, Bixente Lizarazu treated himself to a very nice bike ride and he was not alone since his brother Peyo was also in the game. “It’s a pleasure this first 100 km of the season after a necessary break of 6 weeks. A small repair on the bodywork and here we go again”, he writes, very happy with this first very long bike ride. In the photos and videos that accompany the message, we can see that Tximista’s father is perfectly equipped for long outings, just like his brother and the friend who accompanies them. Despite the heat and the month and a half of rest, the great sportsman once again distinguished himself by proving that despite the passing years, he continues to impress physically.
