“We made four turns on the final circuit and each time we passed the finish line the pace quickened. I just tried to stay with the main group,” explained Lemieux in an interview with Sportcom. “Our team director said it would come down to a sprint sprint finish and my battery was low, but he convinced me to keep going. On the final turn, I was well placed and gave everything I had. There were crashes behind me,” added Lemieux.
