— Is the individual race its format?
– Yes. It pulls well and is also very durable. Yes, he is no longer a fast athlete, but he can maintain his speed for a long time, which can be considered a big advantage in the twenty.
—A lot of people are thinking about how long he will play. You didn’t have such dialogues with him?
