He's negotiating with a few teams for next year (or at least that's what he told me at the start of Lombardia), a couple of them are WT.

Good news. Hope he can get at least one more good contract to try and get back to a good level. It's about time he has a year without setbacks.

 

[SafeBet]

He should go back to Pro level with Polti or something like that.
I'm not sure he's got anything left, but at least he'd be able to choose his own schedule and lead the team almost whenever he wants.

I m gonna be sleeing overnigjt so won't watch the race , take this moment to wish Fausto strength and luck in Japan cup!

Almost a top 20 in Japan.

He hasn't been as badly affected as Robin Söderling and Beñat Intxausti but it still seems safe to say that mononucleosis ruined his career.
