Bascue and Valdes had the second fastest time in the first heat, and yesterday's finish is Bascue’s personal best result on a European track.
“This is Codie’s best finish on European soil, and I was certainly proud of him and really excited for him to be in second place after the first run,” said USA Bobsled Driving Coach Brian Shimer.
