BEST DAY ON THE BIKE?

Riding in Tuscany through the gravel roads of the “strade bianche” around Sienna. Riding from one village to another. Stopping just for a coffee or a “gelato” without a schedule or the pressure of a race. Just riding and enjoying the roads.
Riding into the center of Sienna, the last kilometer/climb of the strade bianche race was great.

WORST DAY ON THE BIKE?

The second stage of the Haute Route Alps, 2019. I ate something bad 2 nights before so I was dehydrated and in the middle of the stage, I started to feel very very sick. The last 10 kilometers of the stage there was a climb of 10% gradient average, during many moments I thought about leaving the race. But once I got into the switchbacks I could see the “finish line” so I decided to go slow but constant and 1 kilometer at a time.

HOW DO YOU ENJOY THE PAIN

When I was younger I had a disease on my left leg. I used an orthopedic machine for 2 years and most of the doctors told me they would have to cut my leg off.
Fortunately, after having surgery 3 times and having to learn to walk again after those surgeries I am ok to ride my bike. So, while riding my bike I enjoy the fact that I can, ando also, the pain and the joy of feeling the pain.
