Another part of the sport in which we would like to leave everything, but once the session is over we are so grateful.

And there the environment plays an essential role. When we run on our favorite roads we like to feel good, look around and feel that we are comfortable, that what surrounds us satisfies us.

But if we could choose where to do it, let our imagination run wild, there are places that dazzle …
