The 26-year-old wasn\u2019t worried because of his many second places, though.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy would I panic? In life there\u2019s more important things than victories or second places. I\u2019m riding for passion, not for ambition,\u201d said Peter and dedicated his victory to Antoine Demoiti\u00e9 and Daan Myngheer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis victory is for the two guys who died last week. Also my team-mate Maciej Bodnar. He had a bad crash yesterday in training and didn\u2019t start today.
