The Stevens Cup started in Hamburg Horn. Because this race belongs to the Germany-Cup, there were about 70 pro`s on the start. It was my first time to ride a cross-race, so I was a little bit worried about, just when I think about the small narrow tyres…But thanks to Ron, I recieved my cross-frame right on time, and so the things could come to a start.

Everything went well I thought. I coped with the curves, the sand and the hindrance.

But after 24minutes everything had come to an end,because I got lapped out.

Many of the other riders dealt with the same problems, but anyhow, I didn´t feel better cause of this. Robert Karasch did a better job, abd gained the 2nd place in his age-group.

At the Stevens Cup in Bremen everything was straightforward. At the proé race, were about 30 riders and I finished on the 15th place. Slowly I´m adapted to my cross-bike. Robert also atrated at the pto´s and finished 7th overall.
