Sergio, how did you feel about your performance?

“I’m very happy to take the win. I arrived to the race just to live the experience of a different race, because a race and train for the Olympic discipline, races of 1h20min, and this stage race are 5 days and long races.
I was really surprise with my performance.”

“About covid, the organizer did a really good job. Everybody did a test, and then create a big bubble during all the event.”
