And Rey said he was both honoured and touched by the heartfelt congratulations from the huge crowd, who`d gathered at the air terminal to chant he`s a jolly good fellow.
“It was a very great satisfaction, as it was not easy at all to defeat Englishman Gavin Mc Donnell in front of a home crowd. ” Rey who`s just “Climbed a mountain” traversing the Dales, is however, fully aware that the most difficult part is ahead, because he must now defend his belt: “Thank you, Mauricio Sulaimán, I will not disappoint you, “he told reporters.
He also commented: “I’m going to rest for a few days to enjoy my championship, but then I`ll start to prepare myself for whatever comes.”
Hall of Fame Trainer Ignacio “Naco” Beristaín says he`s delighted with Rey`s performance and also for reaching the 27th world champion of his illustrious career.
