Did 2021 turn out the way you wanted?
Vincent Pelluard: Not really, it was way better, haha. I was looking for my first UCI World Cup final to make to the Olympics and I finally made 5 finals, 1 podium and made it to the Olympics and some others good results…
Video 2 of the trip to Colombia I did together with my buddy Simon Marquart. This time we stayed in Medellin with Mariana Pajon and Vincent Pelluard to ride the track in the city. We rode the track where they hosted the World Championships for challenge riders in 2016, a little track up in Las Palmas, Andrea Escobar's backyard and rode pitbikes for the first time in Riverside. Hell of a week.
