Hi everyone!

I'm writing this from our team hotel in Belgium near Gent. Tomorrow I will start Flanders. But first thing comes first. After my crash in Paris-Nice, I flew to Hamburg to undergo proper examinations. It showed, that the decision not to continue in Paris-Nice was right. CT showed fracture in my sternum. However it was the better case, because evryteverythinged together inside. After one week rest and one week training I was able to ask for a start in Catalunya. I could still feel my chest, my shoulder and neck were getting stiff, but also this time it was the right decision to make. After one week hard racing in Catalunya, one week here in Belgium, training on the roads of Flanders, Im very glad to stand on the start line of the ''Ronde''. The weather forecast says wind and rain, so its going to be flanders with all the right ingredients.
