“I climb a step (compared to 5km) but two years ago I was already 2nd.

I would have liked the title today but the Italian went through a mouse hole at the buoy.

There are a lot of waves and strategy, races like that are fun.

Logan put on a hell of a train over the last two laps, the Italian is also a pool swimmer who knows how to accelerate and he came at the right time, ”analyzed Marc-Antoine Olivier at the microphone of France Télévisions after his race.
