P1 – David Salvador (Team ProDina XCI)
“I’m super happy for myself and the team. I had some engine problems during warm-up but we worked together and solved them. Today the setup was a little bit different compared to recent races and it felt good. That’s very positive for the next races. On the last lap, I pushed really hard and in the final corner I made the move to win.”
