Being in the top 10 in the UCI World Cup Ranking with 355 points, what's your goal for the last two rounds in SDE?
David Graf: I'd like to add two more main events and show that I'm capable of doing better than 7th or 8th.

Is the Olympic qualifying period on your mind when you're doing races after 1 September?

What's the best section on the track in Santiago del Estero?
David Graf: There is nothing specially good, maybe the surface. It has been a while since we raced a soiltec track!

How long is your travel from home to Rounds 7&8 in Argentina?
David Graf: We will leave 5pm Monday in Zürich, and arrive 5:30pm in SDE. Plus 6h time change. 30h?!
