"In the moments of suffering, I think about the team, about wearing the team colours, racing for such a great team. I think about the staff, the team working behind you, cheering you on. I also think about my family supporting from afar, sending lots of encouragement. Every time I thought I didn't have the capacity to carry on, I found out that I had two or three times more in me that I thought I had to give." - Jonathan Caicedo, Neo-pro, first Grand Tour.
