JOEL KELSO
“It was an incredible race, but it was a very difficult victory to achieve. I managed to impose my speed from the start and I let the other two riders join me to see if they would pass me and try to see their intentions for the last lap. Despite being overtaken at the end, I raced to the limit on the last lap to achieve this great victory. It was a very good weekend for me and the team, so I hope to finish the year just as strongly as this. I want to thank my family for this victory, as they will be watching me at home”.
