"He has found the perfect balance to successfully combine the road tests with the main commitments of a pistard in his category, including the World Championships, European and Games."
Since his signing up for the green team, Leitao has been consistently successful, notably in the current campaign the Classic Loire Atlantique, the 2nd stage of the Grande Prémio Anicoloro and the last day of the Tour of Magnificent Qinghai, to which must be added the fact that his speed point and his skills in the last few meters have helped him to combine positions of honor in Adélie (2nd), the Palma Prize (4th) or the Tour of Burgos and the Tour.
