At the beginning, when Pecco passed me, he was going fast and I didn’t want to exaggerate. I did a few laps not too attached so as not to lose contact but not to stress everything. When I saw that Pecco was struggling I told myself it was time to pass and try to go away. I’m proud of my work, but it’s impossible that without other people it would all be impossible.
