“I tried everything today, I really gave it my all. I felt great at the beginning of the race, fighting to move up quickly and getting into the top positions. It was towards the end of the race when we started to have difficulties, not being able to wrap today’s race up with a good result”

9th

“Today’s race was complicated. I couldn’t find myself on the bike and, although I could make up some positions, I ended up crashing, which determined the rest of our race. We will analyse what happened today, with our sights already set on Valencia”
