There are a lot of riders who go fast on this bike.” “I felt better right away and adapted faster than I expected.” “The feeling was good and I didn’t have to look too hard to find a good time.” “During the test, I was able to put on new soft tires at the end of the day, and they felt good.” “I was able to adjust my position. There are things I need to understand, such as the level and communication with the team.”I’ve been working with the same group for 11 years, so it’s natural, but they have accepted me very well.I feel very comfortable.
