After conquereing the leader shirt of the GPM during the 3rd race Asja Paladin defends and conquers the first place in this special ranking during the 4th race of the Emakumeen XXXI Bira in Spain, confirming to be one of the best athletes in the world.
This result has a high technical value, because the Bira track is incredibly tough, also because the best athletes of the world were in the game, among them the leader Anna van der Breggen. Also, at the very same time a year ago Asja Paladin broke her shoulderblade and collarbone. An extremely serious injury that compromized the season for the athlete that now left it all behind. For her, aiming and thinkin about a possible comeback at the World Championship in Innsbruck it’s not a dream but a real possibility.
“Today has been pretty tough” comments AsjaPaladin “I tried my best in the first GPM because I knew it would have been crucial there. I won and then I tried to stay among the firsts that were fighting for the general ranking. I gave it all and I managed to bring this shirt home. I am really happy and satisfied and I really hope it will bring me luck for the future. “
