“I knew I was in good shape”
“The race almost didn’t start because of the weather this morning, so mentally it was hard to stay motivated. But then at the start line we were like ‘ok…let’s go'”declared Kerbaol on arrival for Cyclism’Actu. “It was a pretty fast race, we did all the climbs at a good pace and there were a few breakaways. Nina (Berton) was still with me in the group for a long time and she helped me a lot.”
“We caught the big breakaway group on the last lap and at the top of the climb there were only five or six girls left with me, so I decided to attack before the descent. Silvia Persico told me followed and we worked together well to create a gap We had 12 or 13 kilometers left at that point, but at the bottom of the climb I decided to accelerate to try to outrun her, which worked, and. I rode solo to the finish. It was a good day in the end, I’m not surprised because I knew I was in good shape, but it was nice to make the team’s work come true. like that”she concludes.
