Wise decision to ride hard to get ahead of the pack for 7th… your 11 seconds gained there was huge. You would have bested stage 2 also if not for the couple of holdups. Stage 3, well, I know that kind of pure speed isn’t really your thing, but you still nearly won it. What was your overall margin of victory? I suspect mid-teens or better. Congrats again!

I think Dale already explained in one of his previous videos before. He works for Norco actually and so he covers the brand so as to separate his private and professional life. He doesn’t want to be seen promoting the brand just because he works for the company. But there is nothing bad about the brand.
