Looking back at a successful end to the season 2023 & getting ready for the Olympic year 2024!

At the beginning of the year I said that racing at the World Tour level would certainly take me out of my comfort zone. It turned out to be even more true than I had imagined.

As you might heard, I will be riding for Israel-Premier Tech Roland this season. Racing at the highest level is an exciting new challenge, but I am also aware that it will take me out of my comfort zone.

The month of September involved more racing and travelling than usual for me - first the Vuelta a España (7-11 Sept), and then the World Championships in Australia. What seemed a little daunting at first, actually turned into an extremely valuable and enriching experience.

The news of my participation in the Vuelta was in the headlines last week - quite to my surprise. It almost sounded as if it would be my first “real race” since Tokyo. I’ll take it as an opportunity to tell you about my 2022 season - past and future - in my own words :) .
