Today started at 9 `clock with pleasant temperatures and sunshine...

With a cautious glimpse in the future I had my arm warmers and my wind west with me, which I soon took off again, shortly after the start and I didn´t use anymore during the tour. They ust filled up my jersey pocket.

I felt reaaly good today. But Ingo had a few problems. His pulse did not want to rise and also his stomach didn´t want to swallow the food, he rather wanted to threw eerything up again. But he managed to eat a roll before the start!

Today on the schedule : A Mountain…

I knew thisr course from two years earlier, and if you´re watching the blueprint you surely will think, that it will inly go downhill after the top of the mountain...but...you´re wrong…
On the flat stage part, you need ride after a fast train to move forward, because the short track was peppered with small but stiffy uphill parts…

Today Ingo showed more than ever what a fighter he was by nature...we reaches the finish in Brixen with a slight smile on our faces…
