Additional Info: SUPPORT
He has been a member of the Obiettivo3 project in Italy, led by former motor racing driver and Para cyclist Alessandro Zanardi. The project aims to encourage people with an impairment to take up a sporting career. "I have to thank Zanardi for the possibility he gave me, supporting my preparation for all the season. He's the soul of the team and the most experienced in mechanics, aerodynamics, and engineering. It's a privilege to be part of the team. There's access to all top edge equipment such as the wind tunnel. The grant I receive allows me to be always updated in terms of material for my handbike and to buy the measuring systems of traction and power."
