Was definitely a busy January. I drove to Rome for the Cyclocross nationals where Braidot twins made a perfect race finishing first and second on the podium. Fonzie was in the following group and he made it for the third step.

My flight for South Africa was already booked for the day after. In Stellies I met Cannondale Factory Racing team and we had 10 days of good time, shooting new jersey and new Scalpel’s setup.
