#WovenIntoHistory
๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐,
You joined us in 2019 as a young, modest rider full of dreams. Back then, even you could hardly have imagined those dreams would one day become reality.
You quickly proved your talent and not long after delivered the teamโs greatest success by winning the Tour de France, followed by a second victory just a year later.
It seemed as if the future lay entirely at your feet until everything suddenly came to a standstill after a serious crash in the spring of 2024. Those moments must have felt endless, but you kept fighting.
A few months later you were back in the Tour, once again showing what an extraordinary fighter you are by finishing second behind perhaps the best rider in the world.
You never stopped chasing your dreams. Last summer you claimed your first La Vuelta victory and now, with the Giro dโItalia, you have completed the trilogy.
You have done yourself great honour in reaching this milestone. Achievements like these are reserved for the very best in the sport. But you have not only honoured yourself, you have also honoured the team. Your journey is now Woven Into History, marking a new chapter in our teamโs history, and for that we will be forever grateful.
With heartfelt thanks from the whole team. ๐
Shorty looks like he has always enjoyed playing the game he loves. Plays it with a smile and a grin.
A long bomb from Shorty always gets me out of my seat.
Go well on your 200th Shorty ๐๐ค
