“I feel like I’ve been given a second chance. I had the opportunity to get back to motorcycle racing and the sport I love. If the accident had marked the end of my career, I would have felt that I still had more to give”, said the cyclist when referring to the event in 2019 that led to serious injuries in different parts of the body.
