This sport has given me so much, I want to consider it a beautiful chapter in my life and I will certainly bring it all along with me. Thank you very much to those who believed in me, supported me and I was close, a nice vaffan ... always hearted to those who never believed. Now you change completely life and a departure flight to England that I write this post and greet you. Tomorrow I will be what I have chosen today. "
Sprint specialist, the valtellinese entered five times in the World Cup points, with a 13th place in Planica in 2016 as the best result. In the winter just finished he had also earned the call for the Lahti World Cup.
The decision was made after the failure to enter the national teams, where they found athletes with age and comparable results in the 2016 - '17 season. He also has probably played a decisive role in choosing to quit, including the fact that he has never been enlisted by any sports group.
