I did a semi-final, it was the first semi-final of the year and I was really not happy and today I tried to do better and to win, it was really incredible. But now she gets to get the trophy from Mr. Norman Cairn from the UCI, your winner's trophy for the Elite Women Overall Series winner of 2026. Congratulations. Congratulations. Yeah, that's crazy, so crazy, so proud of this one. I've had such a good time this season. It was a big battle with the girls and it well came down to that last one and I think there was a pretty cool final pretty cool first straight real battle down the first straight and well I thought Bethany was behind me in third and I was only going to get her with one point but unfortunately just not on the box but yeah it means a lot. It's unbelievable. I'm so proud of her. I'm super happy to be standing at the top again. The sixth time sounds crazy, but I think this one is the best. Laura Smulders, thank you very much. Congratulations. Thank you, Al.
