His knowledge of sport, in particular with regard to equipment and racing strategy, is unrivaled, and I have always valued his advice. Having it officially in my team for Cortina is a major asset. This return is to push the limits and prove what is possible, and I am convinced that KSSEL will give me the little extra that I will need in this ambitious adventure. I am grateful to have it in my team and I could not dream of a better partner. Their collaboration will start in only a few days, during a training camp planned in Chile.
