As long as you have done your best…

Well, that’s it! I can’t give you any great insight into the journey, except to say that the Giro giveth and the Giro taketh away.

Two years ago it was fantastic for us, and last year it almost finished me, my team and my career in cycling. We don’t have the budget of Sky or BMC but I guarantee you that my team will give their absolute best. Hopefully, the public and sponsors will appreciate the effort.

We know we’re lucky to have been given another chance but I also think we were blameless in what happened last time. I guarantee we’ll not be found wanting.

E allora? Ci vediamo a Trieste!
