I had an excellent swim, a good change and I left for the cycling stage. Also in this phase I felt very good: I was in the lead several kilometers; Plat returned rather late than usual and this aspect made me think that it could really be the right day. Upon entering T2 I noticed that Brungraber was far away: I admit that at that juncture I dreamed of silver.Halfway through the third fraction, my glove got wet - says Achenza -: I didn't have the right grip for the thrust and I lost the rhythm, but on the last lap, also thanks to the support and the warm cheering of all the blue staff, I recovered, flying right over the finish line to collect a wonderful bronze medal ".
