Nina Hoffman she loves speed the German on the move here in Andora nah Hoffman fastest by 4.1 seconds I knew I can win a race when everything goes well and everything goes together and um I finally did skims that tree when you see smoke coming out the back wheel M fness oh she
Been pushed a bit she touched the protection Nina Hoffman’s going faster and faster here you know 4.1 seconds di faster for Nina hofman so far she’s keeping it together and we know when this happened to Lina she is incredible even when I was in the finish I thought
That was a good run but it’s not enough to beat valy because she’s in such a strong shape at the moment and um it takes me a very good run to beat her and it didn’t feel like a very good run it was a good run boun all cross the line
She’s 2.8 seconds outside the time of Nina Hoffman Nina Hoffman wins the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in pal aronal and Dora in some style few hours later I actually realized I had I had a good run I had no major mistakes in it and everything just flowed and
Yeah Fort William was one of my biggest defeats I would say I really wanted to win this race I knew I could have won it that’s part of the journey I mean you cannot always win and you have to take these ones and um mentally I’ve never
Felt so much pressure like in for William and I felt like I I did feel well with it like okay um so I think every race which is coming which was coming after Fort William is just getting easier and that what it was like M Le Andor was pretty
Easy for me now I’m getting in a position where I obviously can get ahead of Kami because she’s not racing anymore which gets me in maybe a second spot overall rally is quite far ahead um so if she does well I will not be able to to get her I think
But it’s four more races we are just halfway through so everything can happen as we saw last weekend every like you can mess up a a race run quite easily or crash or whatever so um everything’s open I think always good to come to a new track
Um always good to get something new in everybody has the same start so nobody knows track that well and uh make things a bit more exciting you don’t know who’s going to do well on this track and who not because don’t have any history of it so yeah looking forward to it
