On Saturday I was riding “Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt“ in Germany. I finished fourth out of a group of 25 riders. Reflecting the race I have again split feelings. On the one hand I am happy about my placement and my shape, on the other hand the victory was closer than ever this year but I missed once again the opportunity to win a race.
The race was hard and Carrara and myself had decided to make the race difficult in order to avoid a mass sprint finish. During the climbs we attacked continuously until the group split up. Furthermore Matteo had been in a breakaway for several kilometers. At the end 25 riders fought out the victory but I had lost too much energy in closing gaps. It is a pity because I have been beaten by riders that are in general slower than me. At the end I have to consider that race as another well done one because I felt good during the climbs but I really hope that I won`t have to wait too long for the desired victory.
I will be at home now for two weeks before taking part in the Tour de Picardie.
