Bundesliga Heubach Bike The Rock HC - Belgacom Belgian Grand Prix Fidea MTB Cup

2nd position in Bundesliga Bike The Rock Heubach HC and 3rd position in Belgacom GP Fidea MTB Cup Gooik C2

I am really happy with my showing in this weekend's races!
After having been medicating my bronchitis with antibiotis during last week, I am really satisfied with my performances in the Belgacom Grand Prix of Gooik and the Bundesliga race of Heubach.

My goal was not to overdo myself also with regard to next Sunday's World Cup race in Offenburg. I rode a steady race in Belgium, trying not to spend too much in front of the HC race in Germany. But there I finished even much better than I'd expected! My legs start feeling really good again and I am really motivated to race the World Cup next weekend. And, last but not least, it felt good to stand once again next to those mountain-bike warhorses Absalon and Hermida!
