" I just can't describe it " Mitterwallner said of his victory, the first for Mondraker . " It took me a long time to climb to the top step of the UCI World Cup podium, and to do so in Nové Mĕsto Na Moravě, the most original place in the cross-country. I've always dreamed of it, and I just can't believe it” .
" The team has been working hard. It's never easy to start a new project, but everyone was super motivated. We're having a lot of fun too. . "
