Wilier-Triestina

After my messy 2011 season, I wrote a note to some of my sponsors in order to expose my true disappointment for the bunch of setbacks and results BUT showing that this was just a bump in my way and that I'm still commited to the sport. Some replied back with true support and I feel really lucky that I had them on board in 2011. This one was by far the most simple but inspiring I got. From Angelo at Wilier-Triestina:

Hello Pedro,

Thank you very much for your hearth felt email. You have quite a story to tell going from a couch potato to a world class Triathlete. We all have been on the same path as you have; early success gave way to disappointment. This the point where life divides men form boys. People like you that have the courage and humbleness to look at themselves and admit that something went wrong are on the path of putting out the best they can. Professional sports are tough; most athletes are great and it is very difficult to excel. You have to dig in deep and sometimes the laurels of success will never come; what it is important is that you do the very best you can and that you are satisfied with that. Going into 2012, we are confident that you will be able to find yourself and we are therefore looking forward to work with you on that path.Wishing you the very best for 2012 and beyond, best wishes for the upcoming Holidays to you and your family.

Looking forward to talk soon,

Angelo

Thank you Wilier-Triestina for 2011.
