During the race our team was very active and attacked a lot. I was in every front group, while with 70 km to go I decided to try myself. Was very good, that Konstantin Kuperasov followed me – together we a did a good work and good race. In the beginning it was hard to hold the distance between us and the rivals, because a lot of teams worked behind us. But, finally, we pushed hard and the advantage grew.
