"Since Les Gets nothing is going really in the right direction. I managed to push myself every time to give my best and got a good result, but last week during Test Event I started to feel tired again and no energy. 2 days ago I started to feel sick, and now it seems the Covid hit me again.
The plan was to compete this week end at the Europeans Gravel but this will not happened.
Good luck to everyone."
