"It's a race I enjoy".

"I'm very happy to be back racing! The Santos Tour Down Under is a race I really enjoy, and the atmosphere in Australia is special. It's back-to-school time for everyone, including the staff, and these are special moments that we share as a team. With its short, dynamic climbs, it's a race that suits me, but it's always difficult to establish a state of fitness at the start of the season. I know that some of the team's riders have worked hard to arrive here in great shape, and I'll be delighted to help them get the best possible result."

Like the first participation in the Santos Tour Down Under for Noa Isidore and Jordan Labrosse. After a long journey and a few hours' jet lag, they set down their wheels in Australia for the first time. Paul Lapeira is one of the oldest participants, and will be pinning on a bib for the third time in this race.
