“We ran very well with the team”

Despite his third place on arrival, Felix Gall was satisfied with his performance and that of his team during this difficult step: “I didn't feel very well when I revealed myself, and at the start. I had a strong leg pain but afterwards, fortunately, I found my legs for the final. It was really a very hard finish. I am happy, there was nothing we could have done differently, we ran very well with the team. I am very proud in the way we have run today and that we have no control of the race. I might have had to run at my own pace in the final but they were too strong at the end, the two guys at the front.
