“During my first participation in the Tour de Romandie in 2021, I won the mountain jersey thanks to several breakaways in bad weather circumstances. I like this race and that is why I am happy to return into competition here, eight months after my crash in the Vuelta. My knee injury is finally behind me, after a first operation in September and two more in February. Due to these physical problems, I missed several weeks of training weeks last winter, but prior to this Tour de Romandie I was able to increase the volume and intensity of my rides during a training camp in Calpe. I will take the race day by day and help my teammates as much as possible. My goal is to get back into a race rhythm before I join the team for altitude training in Andorra, in preparation for the Critérium du Dauphiné. I'm really looking forward to joining my teammates and staff again and continue building my shape together with them. »
