David Martín: “I was feeling pretty good and I was confident for this finish. I made a small mistake in the turn 400 metres from the finish, but I’m happy with the feeling. It was a crazy and very fast sprint. My team-mates supported and guided me in the final part, in the last 10 kilometres, and that made it easier for me to be in the fight and in the top-10”.

We played our part, knowing that it was a day for David Martín. Javi Serrano has helped him well, both have learned today to fight in difficult, tense days, in which the objective has been maintained as a team, showing courage and courage to not lose face to the race”.
