The first lap is really important on the fast course. There is a flat part where you need a good group that you don’t have always to try to catch ohter contenders there.
In the first uphill I coulnd’t stay with the front group and a had a small gap. In the flat I tried first alone then together with Milatz to catch a group in front of us. With this effort I „destroyed“ myself that i nearly had to step down from the bike in the next uphill. I tried to recover a little bit and was hangging in the group who caught me. In there it was getting better and better every lap.

I could move forward some positions and finished on 11th place.
