Raul Sinz, winner "First Escape" 2019

It was a very fast race. Nobody could detach sprint squad. the final, It was a technical part with mud and there we made a difference. Being without risers, like a road race. It is a very important victory because it's a highly publicized race. It was my first participation in the "First Escape". I like to walk on mud. But I had mud tires. I had a few slides, but I checked and I have fallen. It was a special thing to me that I competed with a sport so great that Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja.

I got a flat track. I came right on the rim, but they have had two competitors. I am satisfied with the result. Who had more strength finally, a bit of luck and may well chosen tires won. There were no problems with the path. Most roads were paved, there were also loaded wheels mud. Organization, like always, Best.

Alex Hammer (Wingman Giant)

The race is very spectacular. At her, meet two categories of athletes: some who do on such a path and fight to win and others who come for fun, fun, atmosphere and environment. With rain this year, emerged many technical areas route. It depends on many factors. You had to be technically, to choose the right tires, pressure them best, to know when to hold on to the net and when to shoot. That's why teams have mattered so much. The organization is always impeccable. It was a big plus bringing an athlete as high as Gunn-Rita. It's a very cool girl. I took it a long way. Clear is at another level. It can beat some routes with the best of our athletes. I do not think this is the route that would make the better qualities.

It was fun, very nice. Even the last piece of dirt I can not say that scared me. Mud tires make a difference on such a route. People really seemed to have fun. Everyone seemed to like. I go to many competitions in the country, but the "First Escape" is the best organization, the best atmosphere to Start, finishers and even raise participation kits. It was great to be on the same route with the most titled MTB's sports history.
