"Scarsi missed out on the win by just 0.573 seconds to 4x and current World Champ Vali Höll, marking a solid start to the racing season for belt-drive bikes."
"Scarsi mused after the race that it's a huge motivation 'to work more, because we want the first' and of course 'the 100k' that comes with it."
