Niki Tuuli
“Yesterday I felt very good, but today my feeling was even better. I rode with confidence from the start, although I was very cautious because the tires were cold. In the first two laps I didn't push hard, but when I saw that the leader was running away I changed my driving style a bit and took risks until I chased him.
It is great to be able to finish the season like this; I am satisfied about it. I want to thank the team and all the sponsors who have supported me during these tough year”.
