Toni Bou
“I felt very comfortable on the bike and I think I it was shown in my riding. In the first lap it was not very good to be the first to pass the water areas, as they were very slippery.
In the second lap, I fell in the first zone and in the next I missed a point, but then I focused and everything went perfectly. It was a very positive day and this is a very valuable victory for the Championship”.
Takahisa Fujinami
“It went very well until the last zone of the first lap, and I did terribly at the beginning of the second. I lost 10 very important points that ruined my race. I was not able to recover them and they cost me the podium that was within my reach. I have to forget it now and think about the next round”.
Laia Sanz
“I have mixed feelings. I did well in the river areas, where I felt very comfortable, but in the first and fourth areas I had five points in each lap.
There were some stemps that did not offer and intermediate chance so they were two areas where you got all or northing, zero or five points, and I had twenty. I will have to work harder to be prepared for this type of obstacles”.
