Hello everyone!

Its few days clear already. Its only Peter who made the final nine for Tour de France team. However for both of us it was interesting period trying to make the final selection. As for anyone who didnt make the final selection its a little disappointment. That doesnt change the fact that all of the nine guys deserve to be there. For me, even only the chance to be in the selection proces in a team like HTC highroad is a kind of satisfaction. Tour of Austria is next race for me. I will try to use the fact that all my preparation led to be ready in July. After that I will take a little break. I would like to come back in august a hopefully if all goes according to plan I will start in Vuelta.

Here are few lines from Peter about the Tour.

Im packing right now. Tomorrow afternoon Im flying to Nantes. Im looking forward, but feel a little tense as well. Its Tour de France right! The few day in France before the Tour will be quite stressful, with presentations, meetings and training in between naturally.

I feel alright. My injuries from Switzerland ar almost gone. Its hard to say how Im going to feel from the beginning, but what I hope for is that my condition will improve along the way to Paris. The main thing is not to lose any time in the first week. But thats easier to say than do.

I believe it will be interesting Tour.

I will try to keep you updated

Greetings and hold thumbs!

Peter & Martin
