And in the Final, we saw more rhythm,” said Laia Sanz.
“I’m happy with my start, especially because I’m not normally very good at them. I didn’t have much traction at the beginning, but I held on there without breaking down. Then I kept Timmy behind, which was’ it wasn’t easy and there was a lot of contact, and Fraser was able to push through the finish line. I’m happy at work today and I’m proud of the team. Today we found ourselves in a difficult approach, but we finished second and that is very positive. Let’s go tomorrow!”added one from Corbera de Llobregat.
