After my return to racing in the Tour of California, I am now in Colorado for an altitude training camp to get the last bit for the Tour. We have a house here in the middle of nowhere, where we are living together, which is good for the team spirit for the upcoming races. Today we worked on our lead out, as we also did in California. I am really satisfied with our performance there. It was great to be underway with the guys again and we were also successful with a stage win, too. The other stages we fought a lot for a sprint and another win, but it doesn’t always work out.

We will work a little more in the thin air here and then we will attack again.
