Felix Gall
“I’m really happy with what we did today”
“I’m really happy with my performance and the result today. The pace was very high right from the bottom of the climb, but Gregor (Mühlberger) did an incredible job of shielding me from the wind, and that made a huge difference. The whole team was exceptional and did a fantastic job all day long. I was a little frustrated that I couldn’t keep up with Jonas Vingegaard and Giulio Pellizzari, but in the end, it was the right decision to stick to my own pace and manage my effort. It’s very special for me to return to the Blockhaus and take second place here. Compared to my first experience here in 2022, this result feels like redemption and marks a wonderful comeback.”
