Next race is Tour of Sardinia starting on Wednesday.

A break from racing after January but no training camp, just training at home. There was an MHB Ballan team presentation in Budapest a couple of weeks ago though.

Let's see how is the level.

I don't know if Fausto is trying for GC at tour of Sardinia or if he is just a road captain. Today he did a lot of work on the front for zoccatato (I presume), when MHB were the only team interested in chasing the 4 attackers. I was happy with the performance but it was an uphill battle when no other teams wanted to help.

His 17th place on the stage is his best result in a stage or GC since the 2024 tour of Oman, over 2 years ago, which is both pretty nice and pretty sad.

Let's see how the rest of the week goes.

Back racing this week at the settimana coppi e bartali. 4 of the 5 stages are hilly (based on my 2 minutes analysis) which means hopefully we see plenty of fausto near the front.

Some nice words from Fausto before the start of the Tour of Haina.

'Back where I took my first pro win in 2018. So many great memories from this race: the victory, the emotions, and the first time I met Gino Mader, who finish second in the GC behind me

We celebrated together after the race, and that memory will always stay with me.

Live moves fast. Tomorrow I'm back on these roads. Let's try to make this edition special too'.

Grande Fausto!!!

In the words of Crowded House: Hainan, Hainan, don't dream it's over.
