Generally speaking, it was already an excellent Saturday from the morning. Thing will be a bit more complicated tomorrow, but we must at least aim at a repeat performance. The factory riders have something more, but we studied them, and we\u2019ll continue to do so to try and stay with them also tomorrow. We\u2019ll do our race and look for consistency, which the most important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>FERMIN ALDEGUER #54<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy with having completed my first sprint race.
