“Yesterday I won the Pan American Scratch Race. This scratch race was 30 laps long. At the beginning of the race I was staying in the back of the peloton, but a the middle of the race I saw two riders from Chile and Colombian who attacked. I decide to jump in their wheels. But at 13 laps from the end I pulled off to give my relay, but the two other guys just pulled off with me. So this was the moment where I decided to go alone in the front. With three or four laps to go I lapped the field and I won this race. The feeling was so exceptional at the end, after winning the Pan American Track Championship Scratch Race.”
