If this has been resolved, it is the fairest thing. All the luck for him, “he declared in an interview with the Onda Cero program ‘More than one’.

Each one has to be free to make their own decisions, but each decision has its consequences “he explained.

All the most important institutions in the world say that the vaccine is the way to stop this pandemic and the disaster that we are facing. living for the last 20 months. I try to follow what they say, I am not being smarter or less intelligent for doing it. All the debate that is generated around it is a circus, “he continued.

I had three negative CRPs in five days, and I started to feel pretty bad on the journey home. I never thought I had COVID-19 because I had negative CRPs, the last hours before. When I got home, the first thing I did was go to the hospital. I didn’t want to see my mother and anyone I knew so as not to spread it. I tested positive and told everyone I had to notify, “he said.
However, he managed to recover and win his first title of 2022 this Sunday in Melbourne. “They have been difficult months. I have had a lot of problems with my foot, confinement … I have returned to racing and things have gone reasonably well. many months without competing, beyond winning or losing, the important thing was to be back on a track officially. I have competed and I have tried to recover all the positive feelings, “he stressed.
