The triathlete posted on social networks:

"What career was Ironman Italy ? … Everything was going well with 40 km on the bike and still in search of a podium, when in the narrow streets of Bertinoro I flirted with an age group that was on the first lap ?‍(I.e.️

I went back up to my SHIV to continue, but my bike was pretty bad (later I saw that the frame was also broken) and it was inescapable ?.

I will be honest, the last 2 years have been difficult for me, I could not have overcome them without my family and friends ? But man, I'm tired of making lemonade big!

In the next ... my big goal in the future is @patagonmanxtri in December with some races of @ironmantri 70.3 and @challengecapetowntri in the previous period, I want that great moment!

Peace out man ✌️ # trainhardraceeasy #nevergiveup ??"
