Every May there are the Bike Days in Solothurn. During the festival there is the BMC Racing Cup.
The first lap is really important on the fast course. There is a flat part where you need a good group that you don’t have always to try to catch other contenders there.
In the first uphill I couldn’t stay with the front group and I had a small gap. In the flat I tried first alone then together with Milatz to catch a group in front of us. With this effort I "destroyed" myself that I nearly had to step down from the bike in the next uphill. I tried to recover a little bit and was hanging in the group who caught me. In there it was getting better and better every lap.
I could move forward some positions and finished on 11th place.
