Olav Kooij: “Sometimes you just need to believe”
“I really did not expect a comeback like this, but sometimes you just need to believe. I want to thank the team, they believed I could get a result here and did a great job for me all day. After all these months, it feels really nice to race and win again. The pace was fast throughout the entire stage, and everyone expected it to end in a sprint. We knew the last corner would be crucial, so we had a positioning strategy with the team. Once I saw the finish line, I knew I just had to sprint and go for it. Today was not really about the win. I wanted to enjoy myself and do what I love most after such a long time away from racing. We still went full gas, and I am happy it already turned into a victory. “
