“I am happy with my result today here is Sigulda. The circuit has never seen it built like this before, wide open transitions and glassy ice on the most technical demanding track made for some wild racing.
“Eighth is my best World Cup result and even managed a PB down time!
“Looking to knuckle down and make the most of these track conditions for the last race of the season!"
