"It's very hot but it's a 20-minute race and we've all given a lot. There are a lot of people and it's really nice. It was a great race, it's a shame to get two out of the last one, it could have been a good match. The best have won but go in November… ", has developped Justine Braisaz on The Chaîne L'Equipe.
