There is no doubt that the Strade Bianche lived up to its reputation this year with a very hard day under difficult weather conditions. It was my first race after spending nearly a month at the high-altitude training camp and the sensations were good. We showed we had a strong squad with Daniel Oss, Marcus Burghardt and Gregor Mühlberger doing great work at the front. I’m happy with today’s result, although, obviously, we could have wished for more. However, it’s just the beginning of my European races and there is a long way ahead of us.

Niet pochýb, že preteky Strade Bianche neostalisvojejpovestitento rok nič dlžné. Bol to naozaj náročný deň v ťažkých podmienkach. Po mesačnom sústredení vo výške to však bolimoje prvé preteky a dojmy mám celkovo dobré. Boli smetu v silnejzostave, Daniel Oss, Marcus Burghardt a Gregor Mühlberger odviedlivpredu skvelú prácu. S výsledkom som spokojný, aj keď smechceli niečo viac. Každopádne, je to len začiatok pretekov v Európe a pred namijetoho ešte veľa.
