"Itt's sad to announce that my season has ended. I have had problems with my Achilles in the last few weeks. Together with my doctor and trainer, we decided to end the season here.
Honestly, I feel somewhat relieved. This year has been one test after another, and I feel like I have failed all of them.
No matter what I did, 2023 would never be a good year. Getting hurt was just the last failed test that ended this season once and for all.
Part of my spare time in Nice will be spent launching a short anime/movie made by @on called TriKings starring @kristianblu and me. It's a shame to go to Nice and not race, but I'll be back on the start line where I belong when the time is right." commented.
