In this episode of our podcast, we sat down with the Brazilian following his first full season in Europe with the Soudal Quick-Step Devo Team.
Henrique reflected on the challenge of adapting to European racing and life far from home, and what his first year has taught him both on and off the bike.
A natural climber, he talked us through the key moments of the season and explained what these revealed about his potential in the mountains. He also shared what a perfect climbing day feels like, how his background in mountain biking continues to shape his confidence and racing style, about racing the World Championships in Rwanda, building his base in Girona, and the importance of family as he works toward the next steps in his development.
