I am really looking forward to the Vattenfall Cyclassics in Hamburg tomorrow. It will not be a emotional highlight only, but also a determination of my shape. From the sprinters' point of view everybody who is anybody takes part: Kristoff, Cavendish, Greipel, Kittel. Of course I want to be part of the sprint finish, which means that I have to cope with the Waseberg first. This year we have to pass the climb even one more time. So I have to pull myself up and try to get back to the front as soon as possible, if I should fall behind. It will be a exciting and above all a magnificant race. I am really excited about this race on German soil and the many fans there. See you tomorrow!
