IN FRANCE 🇫🇷, GUILLAUME MARTIN
"Find the feeling of the wind on my face"
|
|
|
"Before the deconfinement, I said I was in a hurry to get the feeling of the wind back on my face on a road trip. On Monday, I wasn't disappointed for my first outing with the weather we had and the strong wind. Despite of that, it was particularly nice to get back the feeling of the road, the asphalt and to get into the dance. I did two and a quarter hours and really focused my ride on pleasure. That will also be the idea for my next rides, without too much pressure and intensity. I'm going to extend the length of the trainings, before redoing the groundwork to prepare for the restart of the season as best I can."

IN ITALIA 🇮🇹, ELIA VIVIANI
"A sense of freedom regained"
|
|
|
"It's really nice to be back on the road, even though it has rained a lot in the last few days in Italy. It's very nice to feel the fresh air on your face and to have that feeling of freedom while pedalling, which I missed a lot. Now I'll be able to restart my preparation intensively to be ready for the big events of the season! »

IN SPAIN 🇪🇸, JESUS HERRADA
"Getting back into shape and stamina"
|
|
|
"We were finally able to start our first week of training away from home. Gradually, we're going to focus on getting back into shape and endurance. Of course, we take care to respect the precautions during our outings outside, especially by riding alone as long as the situation requires it. And we're looking forward to resuming the race calendar next August! »

IN SPAIN 🇪🇸, NATHAN HAAS
"It's good to be back!"
|
|
|
"I'm very happy to finally be able to drive again, to get back to my old ways on the road. We have ten weeks before the first races, which gives us time to work and get back in shape and do a good job. It's really good to be back and to be out there! »
