One lap if 62km, 2.15hrs
First Place, 1.38min ahead Huber, Buchli and Stoll
I was pretty tired after the Prague trip, and more and less worked on my bikes until Saturday. My Enduro needs to be ready for a cool freeride trip next week. A good amount of snow is covering the mountains when I am looking out of my windows at home. The sun better get it's summer job done!
Estavayer is such a classic race! I raced here the first time as a junior 1993. All I remember it was cold, rainy and super foggy.
This year the single trails were perfect. Very flowy and lots of berms. I loved it!
For the entire race I was hiding myself in the draft of the others. With 20km to go -the point from where I knew the course- I broke away and had my personal time trial towards the finish. Luckily I almost made it before a short rain storm hit our way.
I felt light and strong! I wanted to wait with my attack towards the end. Like this it is a great build up of excitement for exactly that point I wanted to go and making the difference!
