«A wonderful first experience»

«It was my first race, and I'm happy with how I did. The way you race is different from the Juniors, and that was new to me. The team and I had a really good race. At the foot of the Route des Crêtes, we were well positioned and, as I was feeling good, I broke away from the peloton with a small group. We needed a 15-second lead to be in contention for the win, but I was still able to contest the sprint and managed to pull off a good result, eventually finishing 5th.»
