Adam Raga: “I’m very happy with my win today. Yesterday, when we were examining the areas, they were dry. However, today, with the rain, the terrain was very complicated. Today everything went well until I got to the third and fourth sections, where first I made a small mistake and then I lost my tires. I’ve strung together two fives in a row and that put me behind. But I was able to come back and finally win the first race of the year at the nationals.”
Toni Bou: “Starting ahead in the Spanish Championship takes its toll and, although in Andorra I was able to recover some mistakes, here I have not been able to improve much the two mistakes I have had in the sections. We have to learn from those mistakes, to try to improve so that it doesn’t happen in the future. I felt comfortable riding the bike, and if the starting order had been different, I think I could have had a better race. The end result is good: being on the podium is always positive and the best thing is that we maintain the first position in the championship.”
Arnau Farré: “We started very well, scoring zeros in several areas, although the ones on the river didn’t go so well. But I recovered in zones seven and eight, and also in the twelfth where I started with a zero. I think that’s where we’ve made the difference. The second lap went just as well as the first, except for the five in zone nine and the indoor, although apart from that, I think we had a good race. It’s my first victory in the national championship and I have to keep working so that there are more days like today”
Jorge Casales: “Yesterday was a difficult test and today, with the rain, even more. We had to do a lap to see the changes that have been made. I had a good start, but two mistakes in zone eight and eleven set me back in qualifying and, in the end, I was sixth. I think we’ve done a good job with the team. We’ve all started very strong from the start and we have to keep working because we’re getting closer and closer”
Sandra Gomez: “It was a very nice race, the truth is that I was quite comfortable throughout the day, I liked the sections a lot and the truth is that I enjoyed it. I’m very happy to have won the championship, because I hadn’t won it for two years, it was resisting me, and finally this year I managed to win all three races. Thank you very much to all the sponsors, to my brand, to my family, to the people who follow me, as I always say that this is a team and it is everyone’s work, so… Congratulations!”
