“At Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe, there is already a serious and professional atmosphere, and the people work well.”
“This is a year of big changes for the better for me. I did an internship with the team in recent days and there is already a serious, professional atmosphere, and people work well. The team invests a lot from the medical visits, we carry out very thorough checks. We were at the Red Bull Performance Center in Salzburg, where all the athletes sponsored by Red Bull go, and it's clear that they want to grow like they have in other sports besides Cycling.“
“Today, to occupy the same position in the peloton as a few years ago, you have to produce 10% more power.”
The Trentino also hopes to regain his level on the classics, in particular that of 2021 where he came very close to a victory on Paris-Roubaix : “I miss Gianni Moscon of Paris-Roubaix 2021 a lot. Unfortunately, at the time, you had to deal not only with yourself, but also with your opponents, and today, the level has undoubtedly risen. Today, to occupy the same position in the peloton as a few years ago, you have to produce 10% more power. Even this year I already felt good, I was at my almost optimal level, maybe I was still missing something because of the two difficult years I had. I think the level I had at the Tour was very good. There are still things to improve, but we also have to deal with the opponents. But with a good day, favorable living conditions and a little luck, I think you can still get some satisfaction. However, we have to settle for fewer glory days, not least because in a direct confrontation with today's big names there is no match, and we have to invent something different,” concludes the new recruit of Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe.
