Rui Oliveira was the best ranked of Team Portugal in the European Championship elite background, but the gaiense wanted more, as he explains in a direct speech:
“It was one of the best performances we had as a national team. We were always in the lead, helping each other, all at an excellent level. In the end, as the race was not as hard as it would be necessary for Rui Costa, the second card was to protect myself for the sprint. I arrived a little tired, but I entered well positioned. I was certainly going for a top 10, but I was a little closed by a cyclist from the Czech Republic. I had to brake and lost positions. I improved the result of last year, but I wanted more ”.
