3 start plus 7 laps, 1.59h race time
3rd place, 2.46min behind winner Julien Absalon
I love racing in Bern. It is only a half hour by car away, amazing venue on top of Bern's house mountain, great technical course plus lots of spectators. This year also the weather came together. It rained during the night though, but I was ready for my Fast Track SLK tires, which are pretty close to a semi slick. Such a great rolling, light tire. Some pessimistic riders were on they're mud setups. Probably they could not believe that it can be dry again. Ok, during the first couple laps it was still wet at some points, but for 90% it was dry and fast.
I had a ok start being around 10th just right behind Julien. When he and Flückiger made the move to the front I could not hold on at that stage.
After racing one and a half lap together with Florian Vogel, I ended up riding the whole race by myself. Nobody I could see in the front, nobody in the rear. All in all pretty boring, but the great home crowed kept my excited, plus I was very happy to be on the podium again.
Thanks so much to all the very great fans out there again!
The demanding course, and high racing pace split the field in pieces, and the time gaps have been big.
