After the stage race in Croatie I could feel the improvement in the training. I felt much better then the weeks before. However I didn't know how good my shape is. But this uncertainty i every year and with all the years I nearly get used to it.
The start was quite fast but I could stay with the front groupe in the first lap. In the second lap I couldn't follow anymore. After a short recovery I found my rhythm and caught my teammate Fumic. After two more laps his pace was to high and I lost his wheel again.Thenceforth I rode the laps alone and stayed on position six.

With my performance I'm quite satisfy, the legs were good. I hope that I can do the next step till the next race in Tesserete to finish the start pace.

Nino Schurter won the race, second Florian Vogel, third Moritz Milatz.
