A great championship weekend in Thüringen

160626_dmstr

After my time trial title today I sacrificed myself entirely for Marcel Kittel. It was really hard work bringing the field to a sprint finish. But I felt very good and with a few others constantly helping to keep everything together. For half of the race I was also in a group underway, but we were pulled back. It didn’t work out for Marcel in the end, because he had the bad luck to be boxed in. Too bad for us and especially for him, that he couldn’t celebrate in his hometown. But I am sure that we will have reasons to celebrate at the Tour.

Overall I am satisfied with my Championship weekend.. I could win the time trial, test my new position, had a good feeling in the road race and the weather was good too. I hope that wasn’t our last German championship in Thüringen and especially Erfurt. They were very well organized. Thanks to the organization and the helpers. For me it was fantastic to ride in Thüringen, where during my U23 time I set the basis for my pro career.

Now I will relax at home for two days and then it is off to the Tour. We will stay in touch. Yours, Tony.
