“We had a good race, as we took a big step forward compared to last week. This was our best Sunday so far this year, so I am satisfied. At the beginning of the contest I was riding with the leading group and, although afterwards it seemed that I had lost contact with them, I caught them back up again at the end. Today I felt well on the bike and I am getting more and more confident. We have to continue working in this way next week in Barcelona.”
