Was there a false start or not?

– I think that if there had been, we would have been eliminated.

How do you judge the final in general?

– The fight was tight. The result is the same as last year, only we rode with the second team from Moscow. The seconds are almost the same. I think we were ready to go faster, but we have every chance to reach our full potential in the days that follow.

– Individual views will you all go?

— I hope I will do a good sprint and keirin, make the coach happy and don’t do 1 km.

– Is that a bonus?

– Yes. I had no relationship with that distance,” Burlakov told .
