‘Yeah, we exchanged gifts, I gave him one of my helmets, and he gave me a pair of Jordans. That was pretty cool, but mainly just to hear from his experiences, his career, the mentality that he has, even at his age he’s so competitive it was just an amazing, amazing evening.’– Gasly continued as he cherishes the memorable evening.
