Great weekend in Jurmala!!!
Since 2005 World Cup race,MAIN races were held in Jurmala for last 4 years, but this year Baltic championships (PRIME event) was a fantastic event and it really proved it’s status – we had special t-shirts for this competition, Latvian National television was also present (the race was reflected in the news the same evening and soon there will be a footage in sports broadcast ‘’olimpiade.lv’’), we had piles of prizes!
The contest was held in a new place (small hill with fantastic surface but short course) because the previous one (next to the sea) was paved during the winter.
The air temperature was +22C (water temp. + 20C) !
It was really nice to meet riders also from Lithuania and Finland!
We had also afterparty in the heart of Riga centre – in Vecriga (Oldtown)with a cup of beer!
Finally, I would like to say huge THANK YOU to ConeRacing.com for prizes
