Mishap in the final practice

In my final training today for the German championship, my time trial suit burst. The zipper pulled out of the seam ;-) It was brand new and I wanted to test it today. Fortunately, a nice tailor in Streufdorf in Südthüringen, where the championships are being held tomorrow, helped me and put it back together again. I also have another suit with me. That has never happened to me before. But no matter. It would be boring, if everything always sent perfectly, right?

At any rate I am looking forward to Friday and am very motivated to ride the German championships in the my athletic home. My feeling is very good. The form is right and I am actually very happy that it should be so hot. Usually I am more a fan of rain, or at least cooler temperatures. But this way it will be a good test for the Tour and Rio.

Maybe I will see you along the course. Yours, Tony.
