The course in Windham was totally different though to Mont Sainte Anne and is described by many as “old-stlye“. There was one long climb and one downhill with no technical demands. Just the sharp stones were dangerous where you could cut the tire.

At the start I stayed more or less on the same position and I had to “wait“ again till I could catch and pass other riders. So I fought hard again to get forward until I reached again the 26th position like I said already.

I can say that there is a certain consistency. I was already the 3rd time in a row where I reached in the World Cup the 26th place in this season, in Albstadt, MSA and Windham.
