“It was a difficult race, in the sense that I wasn't able to repeat the start of the sprint race and therefore I fell a little behind. I tried to recover, but like yesterday I couldn't pass Brad (Binder) throughout the race because his braking point was a little further ahead than mine. It's a shame, because I thought I'd do a little more, but the result is still good. I definitely have to improve braking, because compared to the past I'm struggling more and this doesn't make my life easy when it comes to trying to overtake. This is something I've noticed on almost every trail so far. For the rest we were in pretty good shape and we improved over the weekend, so I'm quite happy."
