His favorite cyclists are Adriano Malori, Rigoberto U, an and Tom Dumoulin.
When asked about his opinion on being number one in Spain for the under 23 category, he stated
I am very glad to be in this RFEC ranking, however I do not think there is such thing as the best junior in Spain. There is a group with the same level, within which I am part of, but sometimes we need to take into account that we are not always in the same shape.
Denis is now hoping to participate and win the famous Tour De France in the future.
