Once again, she proved to be a great athlete: she listened to me and led a perfect race; we are very happy for this excellent result. If we think that we are only four athletes in the running, this second place is as good as a victory; but we will try again there, tomorrow.” Ane Santesteban: “I’m satisfied, but also regretted for the victory touched. Since this morning, I felt good, and with Fabiana we decided to wait for the final climb. The team worked a lot to me, to take me as far forward as possible, Dalia Muccioli did a great job. Now I look ahead, I think there are other suitable opportunities for us, it will not be easy to win, but we will try, as always”. Tomorrow dual commitment for the ladies of Alessia Piccolo, who will initially be engaged in an individual time trial of 13.5 kilometers with start and finish in Havírov.
