“Seeing how they pushed every meter, both Tosha and Daniel opening the track, it was amazing, and being there with them… well, it was also a great experience and a lot of fun. We rode together every day. Yes, Daniel and Tosha were opening the track, and I was still a little way off, but I learned from the pace they had and how little frustration they had, to be honest. Yes, there was a point after refueling when we joined the cars,” he expressed to the displaced media.

“Where to improve? The hours on the bike. I think it’s a bit long for me to spend a lot of time on the bike, it’s something I haven’t trained for. I think I spent a maximum of five hours on the bike and here we are doing stages of six hours, seven Today there were five, but we have been difficult, doing a lot of time on the bike I think is what I should improve for next year, and a little sailing”, explained wholeheartedly
