Andorra, France, Sweden and Switzerland are the countries responsible for testing host the European Cup Downhill Marathon.
It all began in the month of June and until this past Sunday, October 3, where the last round was held in the Swiss resort of Flims, in the middle range of the Swiss Alps.
In the words of Salva "The last race in Switzerland, it became very hard, because in the qualifying race on Saturday, I was not too well, was with a slight fever, but finally I could enter the court to run the two Sleeves final Sunday, and gain the necessary points to finish runner-up. "
Save Olivares needed to get 150 points in the final round of Switzerland to finish in the top three European.
Finally managed to get 197 points and adding to a total of 762 points in the general Master30, was runner-up, behind the Swiss rider, Florian Golay.
At the end of two rounds of Sunday's final, Salva told us: "The truth is, not as I will have been finally, the thing will be very tight, as my rivals, the English Dave Welch and Bishop Aidan had been very strong all weekend. "
But ultimately, the disclosure of the final rankings, managed to finish runner Salva. "I'm still freaking out a bit, is amazing to be there messed with professional traders and specialists in the manner, I think it has much merit, not only for being the first year and running with your own equipment, but because Master30 category is where the greatest number of riders there, I was not the best but if one of the most consistent I've been in all European finals, and I scored in the 12 Total sleeves, luck has also been on my side, having no serious falls or breaks on the bike that allowed me to finish a manga, I think this point has been vital to get the Europeans. "
"I could not stop to thank again the people who have been supporting me all year and my sponsor, as well as the local media: Local Line, between the lines, and Cope Villadealhama.es Espuña by taking an interest in me. "
