"I have not felt like this in my life. It was the best race I've ever done," said Coloma. "I was riding so easily that it was strange 🔥ꩵto see myself up there with the best in the world and with margin to increase the pace."
Sitting at the presscon with the other podium finishers, he said, "For me, Mont-Sainte-Anne is the best race in the World Cup for the past two years. I was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:sixth at Worlds [here 𒐪in 2010]. I'm happy to be sitting here with three world champions - N🎉ino [Schurter], [Jose] Hermida and [Jaroslav] Kulhavy."
Coloma was in the f🌟ront group right from the start. He rode as part of the q🧸uartet fighting for third to sixth.
"[Jaroslav] Kulhavy opened a small gap and 𝓀after a few minutes, I have decided to attack [Florian] Vogel and [Marco] Fontana. I was feeling good. I w𒅌ent away from them, rolling in fourth position, and I think I would have been able to contact the Czech rider."
But after opening a gap with these two riders, Coloma crashed. "I hit hard. I was dizzy and the Swiss and the Italian passed me again. It hurt, but after a minute completely unfocused I felt ok and the🔯n I passed them again. Still, the chance to fight for third place with Kulhavy was gone".
Coloma is in Windham, New York for the next World Cup this weekend. "I want to fight again for the podium and show the consistency I've always had as a rider.🃏"
