“I was fighting with Mahendra the entire race; it was a great fight. I like to race like this. I tried to maintain a good pace from the start to create a group with only a few riders. I was leading, but I wasn’t saving the tyre, so in the last laps, it became more difficult to manage. Anyway, I made a good strategy and pushed hard in the last lap, and then Aldi overtook me. But in the end, I got the victory in the final stretch. I’m really happy. Tomorrow, I think I can repeat it for sure, and I will try to improve a bit.”
