After a good qualification, I went up the European Championships in Frederica, DK. This championship was an indoor race not an outdoor. I was supprted there by a former club member of me and Faro Kattner, who now trains at the Olympic Training Center in Cottbus.

The only german starter on Saturday in the boy class 10.
I stood in the pre-start, because with a lack of orientation and problems with the danish language, I missed my pre-run, because I stood in the wrong lane. Weel, I knew I had not much chances to qualify for the last round of sixteen. I rode the two races with not much effort and finished 7th in both races, and showed not much of a someone hungry for fighting.

For the explanation: At a few international races, parents aren´t allowed in the paddock. Riders who didn´t ride came in the paddock, but not in the Pre-run-area. After the first run they relaxed the rules a little bit and the supporting riders were also allowed in the paddock to help…but to late for me

There´s nothing more nice than to work on your bike. My dad and I invested a few bucks for pimping up my bike J))))

We drove home with a lot of nice pictures and emotions. We saw a fantastic race on Sunday. To ride with such a starting field I need much more exercise and more effort and ambition. Now we gonna go to an exercise camp on Sunday to learn much more, and I will pay attention, more than before to the words of Ludewig, the coach from the Olympic Training Center.

Until than, Nice Holidays

Yours

Mike
