In the past month
in
April, you were the winner of the first
races
of the German Inline Cup,
how
did you see
that competition?
The
race was good for me because it was my first race
with my new team, Zepto. It was an important race
for them also because there was a lot of journalist
and tv reporters there. The organization was really
professional.
-
What did you feel in crossing the first one the
goal?
It's
always a nice feeling to win. This race was also
more special because it was the first race of the
seasson for me so it also gave me some confidence.
-
Of more nearby way, in this month of July, in the
marathon of Einsiedeln, you remained with the second
plaza in the sprint with Andrés Muñoz. Was very
hard this test?
I
was happy to be in the winning breakaway in
Einsiedeln. So I worked a lot to make sure it would
maintain the advantage over the main group. In the
final kilometers I tried an attack because I know
that it would be difficult to win Muñoz in the
sprint, but it couldn't do it. I was satisfied with
this result.
-
These triumphs or good positions, ¿are they the
result of the teamwork?
Normally yes, but in Einsiedeln I was alone, so I
was more lucky. But normally in the marathons you
have to rely and trust your team. It is impossible
to follow every attack so you need to learn to skate
good as a team.
-
How do you see the maximum incorporation of
Colombian skaters to the most important series of
marathons of the world?
In
the end it is positive for the sport. For have
a world-sport you need the best skaters in the
world. At the first races they were very aggressive,
like in the worldchampionship test, but now they
understand the marathon better and I think it will
be good in the next years.
-
Do you think to continue in Zepto Team the next
seasson?
For
sure. I will skate for Zepto. This year they start
to get some good results with me, and Reyon Kay at
the WIC in Wolvega. The team manager Jorg Dietrich
is one of the best people in the world of skating
and I really like to work with him, so it’s a good
relationship.
-
In the World Championship 2007 of Cali, Colombia.
In the long test you had medals. Do you think that
this year will be able to be better?
Yes that's true, in New Zealand we receive support
from the government if we obtain medals. Cali was
good for me because I had good results, but I'm
going to try to repeat again my action of 2006
and win again.
-
Already we know that in this month of July, you will
come to Gijón accompanied by Nicole Begg to try the
installations. What do you think about the city?
For
sure we will spend most of the time at the track
because that’s the main reason we come! But I have
heard from some other skaters that Gijon is a nice
city so maybe we can see something more. I hope
that the weather will be nice.
-
Have you ever been before in Spain?
No,
this will be my first time in Spain. It's strange
that I have not been before because I have been
living in Europe now for 5 seassons.
-
Do you want to say anymore to the interview for the
people who read it in
MundoPatin.Com?
I am
really excited about coming to Gijon to race. It’s a
big goal of my season and I am really looking
forward to this.
