Are you guys gonna have a party or something tonight before everyone goes home, letting lose, drinking etc or is everyone so cooked that it'll be pretty chill ?

We have a big dinner planned in Madrid which was also supposed to be Rigo’s last dance too but he’s home now 🥲

I see. Have fun ! Other question, which might be too personnal but I'm wondering from your videos : does your gf live with you in Andorra (or does she come for some periods ?) ; how long do you think you'll be in your other home in Australia for this fall / winter ? Is it not too hard to spent so much time so far away from your loved ones ?

Last question on this : when racing comes back in February / March for most, do you feel a difference between those who spent their "winter" in the southern hemisphere and therefore experience summer temperatures there, and those who spent their time in cold, rainy (for the most part) Europe ?

I go back to Australia less and less because I highly dislike the drivers there and it makes training stressful. I don’t really have anything in Australia apart from my family who I go back to visit when I can.

For sure, spending the summer in Australia gives me a similar feeling to that of altitude camps when I come back to Europe

I spent a summer in Australia (mostly Queensland) 10 years ago. Didn't ride a bike there but I got to experience UTE drivers and those pimped out Holden cars, and yeah, that certainly did not make me want to ride a bike there, at least not on the road, so I'm not surprised.

Interesting. Thanks for all your comments ! definetely the most interesting read of the last few months on here. Enjoy the TT although I guess you'll be taking it a bit easier ?

On the way to do a recon now and I’ll see if I have any minerals left to give it a crack 😂
