Here we go, some rumors were true! Now I'm a #rockrider rider! I know, this choice might surprise some… but you know, if I signed up here, it's because I know I'll have everything I need to race. I am also a loving person and being surrounded by people who mean a lot to me has been very important. I know we will surprise you a lot, so stay tuned! – Maxime Marotte
