QUOTES
Chas Guldemond, Dew Tour Winner
Today was amazing, I just had a really good mentality going into it and was super confident and I just knew that everything was gonna go my way. It was just one of those days when you get that feeling. To win here in Breck means so much to me and to get back on the podium, it’s be a climb these last few years.
 
When the weather gets bad, that’s kind of when I feel like I have an advantage. My chest pumps up a little bit more and I feel a little bit more confident in my riding compared to the other guys. Experience is key and I know I have a lot of it.
