You can almost feel his grin break through the headset when he crosses the finish line. Edo Mortara gives a solid chase, Nico Müller sneaks onto the podium, and there's that electric Jakarta crowd energy buzzing throughout. It's slickly edited, but not too polished, just right for that raw win sentiment.
