 The past few months have been special for me, and for the whole team. From the Itzulia Basque Country to Romandie, and most recently at the Tour de Suisse, it feels like all the hard work is paying off. The Tour de Suisse was a big target, and to come away with the overall victory was an incredible moment. It wasn’t easy but that’s what makes it even more satisfying. These races demand so much from you, physically and mentally, but when everything clicks, it’s worth every bit of suffering.
