"In that aspect I was very satisfied with my race, because I didn't have the pace but even like that I was leading the race for eight laps and going really quick. "All weekend I didn't have the pace, the thing is that I make things [happen] that other riders with my pace cannot. "That is to my merit because with no pace I can lead the race and another rider can't do that. "It's my lucky thing, my talent, let's say, in the last years. "But I need more pace, I need to be quicker. If instead of 39.2-39.3 seconds I was 38.9-38.8 seconds away, they couldn't catch me."
