Gonov became the second in the individual race at the Spartakiad of the strongest.
– I came from the boat to the ball, after the races on the track. After injuries and surgery, it’s hard, but we fight. It’s a pity that today there was a delay at the start: it’s my fault, I’m responsible for myself, I didn’t take the number in advance. After the warm-up I come, but I don’t have a number. As a result, they pulled the number themselves,” Gonov told .
– Will he steal from Alexander Anatolyevich (Kuznetsov, coach, – approx.)?
– To arrive at.
In general, how did you feel during the race?
— For the first time on this track, the first time I went to the cup this year, so I still have to work and work.
– Performing in Fiorenzuola – is it like a light at the end of the tunnel? However, the race is cool and we received an invitation.
— Yes, we are very happy to have played there. It was hard, unusual, we hadn’t raced for a long time, but I rode with pleasure, with passion. It was a pleasure in my heart that I would do it again there. We used to do this race, it’s nice to be back.
Was the situation normal?
We are all friendly. We are athletes, like a big cycling family. We know everyone, everyone knows us. Everything went well.
