OK, it was "only" an agreed internal race, but winning is always nice, especially if it is able to attack at the exact spot and go to the box apart, which I had previously selected for it.
But first things first: after the first race had finished our internal club racing series but with a slightly disappointing third place for me, I had for the second race but with somewhat higher. With 900 meters spread over 66 km and a total of three long climbs, I had the opposite route and more. After starting the journey to the first pitch was initially relatively slowly, slowly down the road was steep, the pace was still in a very pleasant area. In the first climb I rode from the front to be able to control the tempo in the first place. Since I was into it down rather quickly in the mountain, I was quite surprised that up to two or three drivers (and driver) were all still together. The next few kilometers were marked by two half-hearted attacks of individual drivers, but they were both short-Dazer. In the first long downhill then rolled it all back together. Then we had to sneak past us once in a Corpus Christi procession. This was followed by two short, but crisp waves, at the second, I really wanted to test just once, what goes on, but suddenly found myself just still in the company of another driver a few yards from the "field". As I signaled to my companions that he saw no sense in it now to drive (it was not even half-way completed), I took the legs back up and we could catch up with us again. Finally, the longest and most difficult of the three pitches are coming soon. On average, not particularly steep, but still the possibility of an attack already under the mountain top to a nice lead in driving out the rich could to the finish, especially since it followed immediately went into a downhill and then followed the last increase. So my idea in the run had been so tried I am with a departure at least most of my companions are going on. First of three drivers could follow my departure: Jan alias alias Lance German champions, and Ingo Matthias, ie the complete Ötzi Force (only Sebastian was missing due to illness). But soon Ingo could no longer follow and Matt had to follow his difficulties only in January alias alias Lance hung German masters such as chewing gum on my rear wheel. That was good, as a couple, we had more chances, after all, were to drive around 25km. Matt was hanging all the time just a few yards behind us, but even if we were out front a little, he managed not to close the hole. So then Jan went alias alias German champion Lance and the author alias Chiappucci alias Italian champion in the downhill, the following flat section we were able to take turns well, the next increase then took over again, I most of the leadership, a (in retrospect perhaps somewhat half-heartedly put forward attack) did not lead to preliminary decision, Sun that Jan alias alias Lance German champion and the author alias alias Chiappucci Italian masters, the last exit and the next flat section for two measures in attack. With a brief departure, I could then issue about 500m before the finish of my companion, and drove safely home the victory. In third position came as expected but not Matt finish, but Ingo Thomas, Matt had accomplished the feat to get lost, and thus given away a total of four positions. Next time we are waiting for you, Matt. I promise!
;-) After that we went to train about three hours down. The (training) day, Matthias and I can then with a cold wheat beer and the first half, Ecuador and Costa Rica finish in the beer garden. By this time, was the frustration of giving away the third place in Matthew also subsided somewhat ....
