Tom,
I
want to congratulate you for selecting such a fine group of men for your team.
They were excellent house guests and I really enjoyed the time they were here.
I really respect how hard working and serious they were about being
professional and representing your team to the best of their abilities.
I
knew very little about how qualified these guys were to be on an elite team.
National champions, Olympic athletes, world championship competitors, etc.
Alberto even has a sister that is a national champion! Amazing pedigree!
Ole
is a fine team leader and expects a lot from his team. He runs a tight ship,
but is fair and respectful. Jose spent some time with me working on a squeak in
my bike's stem. He is such a nice guy. We also enjoyed spending time with
Alberto, Florenz, Peter, and Andy too. My wife interviewed all of them on the
first night and I think that helped break the ice!
My
wife and I have invited each of them back and I feel like we made friendships
with our time together. We've even been invited to visit them in their
countries!
I
ran in to the Safetti representative on one of my rides. He was riding one of
your bikes and spoke very highly of it (and your team). I am very interested in
your bikes.
Thank
you for this opportunity to help. We enjoyed the experience.
