“Step by step I feel much better, and the recovery is going in a good way and this is the most important thing. Every time that I went to the doctor, normally we had good news – that’s really important because last year was quite long and tough. But now, you know, we just try to follow my body with the physio, with the doctor and try to increase the work at home.

“I can’t say because I don’t know, and the doctors don’t know, when I will be ready. But the most important thing is that every week, not every day, but every week, I feel a bit better and I’m optimistic to be on the bike as soon as possible. I don’t know exactly when the day will be.”

“I don’t take many positive things from 2020 but I did learn a few things. “We take a lot of risks all the time and sometimes we try to come back as soon as possible but it’s not the most important thing to come back as soon as possible – this is what I learnt in 2020.

“We made a mistake to come back in Jerez and we must accept that mistake. Of course, it was a consequence of many many things, but in the end the last decision was mine. I felt that I was able to do it, but I’ll learn from that situation in the future.”
