Three races in three days in Belgium and the first race in Switzerland in 2012. Here's the report.

On the 27. December I was traveling with Florian Vogel und my coach Bruno Diethlem to Belgium. We stayed overnight in Antwerpen. The next day we took part at the classic cross race Azencross Loenhout. I had some problems with the course and the speed that they have here in the North. In addition I touched another rider and broke the breaklever. I struggled a little bit now becaus with just one bike you don't have a chance to finish the race. Fortunately they could fix it somehow and I had again two bikes. A flat tire took again the flow that I urgently needed. With no speed in my legs I finished on 41th position.
One day later in Bredene it was running better. On the flat and fast racetrack I could go more to the limit. The simpilier course helped me to finish as 18th.

A little bit tired of the last races we travelled to Leuven. The last of the three races in Belgium. There were again a lot of fast racers in the peleton. The nice course suited to me and I was motivated to go fast. Unfortunately I couln't pass any racer right after the start. But I found my rhythm and also in the tecnical parts I felt comfortable. The finishline I crossed as 22.
Back in Switzerland I started on 2nd January in Bussnang. The weather was a little bit frustrating. It rained really hard before the start. With a good start and legs I finished 7th.
Next week is the Swiss Championships in Beromünster.
