The Arctic Race of Norway was a good start again for me after the Tour. A sprint win didn’t happen, but it was also not an easy race. No one was giving anything away here. Today I put myself in the service of the team again, but Kristoff was simply too strong. You have to recognize that. As you can see, I was on the verge of getting my pilot’s licence ;-)

Tomorrow I will go home again and on Tuesday I am off to Hamburg for the Cyclassics press conference. Until then.
