“It wasn’t the Sunday we expected after all the hard work we put in this weekend. I knew we had good pace today, but when I got into the fight for the podium in the early laps, the first two riders had already opened up a gap. It was a difficult race to manage, very different from what we expected”
Adrián Fernández
6th
“We did a good race today. I had some difficulties in the early stages due to the wind, but once I completed the Long Lap, I decided that I had to push. Step by step, I moved up the field until I caught the group ahead. In the final stages, I had some difficulties when overtaking, not being able to achieve a better result”
