A nice technical course to drive with a lot of mud in the first part and a little smoother in the second. A good test with a lot of altitude difference that I dedicate to the team that in this period is working hard to support us. Now 4 weeks of fire begin, we will start with Ornans, to then face Roc d'Azur, Capoliveri».
