One week is already gone here in Mont Sainte Anne in Canada. A week with rain and cold conditions, where is the summer? Well I should not complaim to much since this was my first world cup this year in rain.

A new course was made for this years world cup and even more technical than previous years in my opinion. I`ve to admit I sufferd a bit technical the first lap during training, coming from three weeks of almost only road biking was a big challange.

But with some laps before the race I was back in normal again, I kind of realized that I like roabiking but I love mountain biking.

With start number 3 my position was good, I didn`t know what to expect from my legs before the race but I was hoping to finish in the top 10.

My start was okay and I was in the top 10, but I did a huge mistake in the most technical downhill and I lost about ten positions. I didn`t stress to much about it and kept on focusing on my own speed. A result of my quiet and relaxed riding style I was able to have a strong finish and finished 4th.

A very good result for me and again on the worldcup podium☺

Next week a new world cup in Bromont is on the schedule, about four hours by car from Mont Saint Anne. We are leaving already today after training and lunch so I will have plenty of time to train in the course and relax.

Bye for now!
