We will fight until the last day.Get access to everything we publish when you One never knows… Who knows? It won’t be me anyway and it will be someone else on the team who takes the distance. I don’t know much about the race, I know that I suffer a lot on long climbs because I’m not a pure climber, but I’m going to fight. I think that the best thing we have is the team, that we understand each other a lot and we are going to do a good job.
