The winner, Oscar Plastri, after 3or this year and 5or A total victory of his career, stressed: « As soon as I was on the inside, there was no way to get a second out of the first turn. I tried as much as I could. Obviously, the agonists had to be involved, but I thought I was ahead and eventually gave me the victory. So yes, I am very happy with all the work we have done in the start, and that gave us the victory today. It was very difficult to follow out there. I couldn’t stay close to Max at the end of the first half, I just destroyed my tires, and after the free field it was nice after the pit stop. Wonderful race. We did the right pieces that needed. I think we still need a few things; Max was a little too close to our tastes, but it was a great race and a great weekend. One of our most important upgrades this week was that the water bottle was working. That was good, mildly a few liquids, something that was nice. It’s always a difficult fight here. It’s a little later in the year this year, which I think makes it a little warmer, with more humidity, and definitely one of the most difficult struggles I have done in my career. So, I’m glad I was able to win. «
