Because of the way I was riding and competing, I didn’t see myself as being on the bike for much longer – maybe another year or two. “After the intervention in Rochester, the hope is there that I can continue competing without pain and have fun on the bike.”4“Sometimes I stop to think about motivation and in my case, the only conclusion I reach is that mine comes from passion and enthusiasm. “It remains the same as it has been for more than ten years. It also pushes me to think about the goal, which is to have fun and compete at a good level, without suffering or having pain.”
