What a photo finish – four people on the line. I have never been part of that before. Unfortunately I came from behind a fraction of a second too late. One meter after the finish line I was ahead of the others, I had that much momentum. But it ends at the finish line. At any rate I was fourth behind Andre Greipel. At the start I had thought one of us would take the win. But in the end Bennet won ahead of Bauhaus. Oh well. Life as a sprinter is hard ;-) But at least I am slowly getting back to my usual level. And it is a relief to go into a short break with my good form. I will then ride the criteriums in Shanghai and Japan.
