good times went by, Riva del Garda was super sick.
The FMB bronze event was the first contest I rode after my long breake of being injured. I couldn't really realize that I got 1st in that first event. Soooo stoked, best thing could happen.
Here a video of the contests there:
Once again I can tell you:
When you get an injury, please take your time for training and rehab. It's a really bad feeling being off the bike and watch all the other guys riding and progressing, but it doesn't make sence riding again with may be 50% fitness and risk another injury.
So for me training and being seriously fit got an completly new focus in my life as a pro mountainbiker.
When you are 100% ready to go you feel way easier and relaxed and you can trasfer your skills from training into contest riding way easier. It definetly worth it!
Enjoy some pictures from Riva. Thx Tibor Simai, Stephan Koch, all the Pinzgau locals and good friends I met again for the great times. You guys rock!
Cheers,
Andi
