This weekend I went to the big finals of the MTB premeier league in Bad Salzdetfurth, where us PIRATES are very popular…I´ve been asked very often, where you can get such fantastic bike-jerseys!

Because I started there for the second time, I had higher stages for this year. Even though the german Marathon and Cross-Country champ was at the start line. My goal was to finish under the best 7, last year I finished 8th.

The course was very technical ambitious, what made me lots of fun, because I used to race BMX in younger days.

At the two Downhill pasages stood the ambulance queued up...

Right after the neutral start, I find myself in the among the first, for a good point of departure. During the race I rode in between place 4th and 5th. The guy in front of me was downhill slower and uphill faster than I.

At the end I was really satiesfied with my 5th place overall and I enjoyed myself over the price money.
