〈ライアン・カバナ選手 コメント〉 The first round of the JCL consisted of a flat windy 130km course. I found myself in the breakaway with 6 others after 50km. I felt quite good considering it was the first round with no race conditioning. The breakaway was caught with 5km to go and I eventually ran 7th in the final sprint from the peloton. A few seconds behind a small breakaway taking the win. Victoire Hiroshima performed well as a team in the opening round, although we will make improvements for the coming rounds and races. The support from the fans was incredible. I heard the fans calling from the roadside! A great feeling. Tomorrow is a 50km criterium which we will fight to be in the front. Thank you to the fans and the team staff for the support at the opening round!
