Sixth German title

The race today went perfectly. I am happy that I could get my sixth title in the German championships in Thüringen. It was also the first really long time trial this season in which I could test my new position. I was able to bring more strength on the pedals from the start until the finish. And although I don’t really like the heat, I felt fine the whole time. That was a very good test for the Tour and the Olympic games, although I didn’t specifically prepare for it at all.

Now the pressure is off and on Sunday I will be there fully for Marcel Kittel, so that he can have a successful championships too.

Thanks to the many volunteer helpers and the community of Streufdorf as well as the organizers, without whom this championship would not have been possible. Everything went well and without problems. I hope that cycling will again be guest here.

In the meantime I have arrived in Erfurt, where the road race takes place on Sunday. I hope to see you there. It will sure be a festival of cycling.
