Next year there is also a sprint race World cup. In Dalby Forest was a test race. Every rider has to do a timetrail. The best 32 riders are starting in groups of four in the K.O. system. That means, two riders are qualified, two not.

Because I lost air in the rear tire I qualified with 27th. best time. In the first heat I had not a good start but I could sprint from the 4th to 2nd place. The 2nd heat was without problem. The semi-final was the end for me. So I raced just in the small final. There I finished 2nd what means 6th at the end.

The race was just two days before the World cup but to take part was worth it. The track was nice and there were lots of spectators.
