Friday 3 June 1994, a young man who doesn’t seem that young attacks on the last climb. Down towards Lienz in a reckless aerodynamic position, he will be only preceded by the escape of the day.

He likes to wear the polka dot jersey and the blue one of Politecnico. He photographs stars, mountains and other random items. He recently decided that he is able to write the story of a stage for SenzaGiro.
