"I'm so happy," Richie Escalante said
a er race two. "I think yesterday my
confidence changed for today. Just as
I start the race, I was feeling maybe
don't think it's a race. Maybe very
long the first group. Today I feel great.
I woke up more mo vated, more
relaxed. I feel great in my collarbone
(broken in a cycling accident two weeks
ago). So, I'm so happy. My Honos Rac-
ing team is working amazing, giving
me my bike. My feeling is the same as
last year. So, really happy. I'm pushing
hard and I passed Sean and then I just
waited for [him to] pass me again. I
tried my best in the first laps. So hard
in the last five laps; I had to ride the
bike not looking at the people wai ng
for finish the race. I'm so happy."
