"There was a lot of brawl, as expected. In the first two hours of the race we kept a very high average speed on a treacherous track. Overall it was a good day for me. My legs responded well on the climbs, while on the descents I avoided risks due to the wet asphalt. In a nervous and 'dangerous' day, this is a good result ".
