„I personally like cycling because it’s a special sport. Nobody loses in cycling, everyone wins in their own way:
– those who improve,
– those who discover that they can overcome a summit in less time than last year,
– those who cry because they are at the top,
– those who laugh at a joke from their training partner,
– those who never get tired,
– those who clench their teeth,
– those who don’t give up
– those who never lose heart,
– those who never feel alone.

We are all family, nobody will be forgotten. Whoever greets you when you climb the summit, even if it is the first time you see him or her, encourages you not to give up and tells you that you made it right away. It’s all cycling for me. “
