“The ground was heavy, it wasn’t easy. Congratulations to these guys who had a good race and got on the podium, for me it was great fun and also great effort, I don’t hide it. Doing cyclocross is always good, finding this environment even more. Surely the road is another thing, I really like the mountain bike environment, above all it is a very familiar environment and I like to go back. “.
