Ben Hemingway at the end of the race: “It was a really tough race even compared to all the others in which I have participated, I am happy with the bike that really surprised me giving me great feelings and confidence in all the situations we faced; I did not expect it, especially in such harsh conditions, with a new bike that I did not know and that I had actually never tried. It worked perfectly from the beginning to end, I am just sorry not to have brought home a better result because the fatigue has heavily influenced me ”
