Let‘s Race
Also this month, it was time to go full gas.
In this resolution, Ramona Forchini and Simon Vitzthum took part in four races in Turkey directly at the beginning of the month. And with success. Ramona was able to secure the victory in the very first race. Simon unfortunately had several times technical problems, but always was able to fight his way back place well. In the end, the two travelled back to Switzerland satisfied and with one gold and two bronze medals and some valuable UCI points. Just one week later, it was time for six of the team's riders to pedal hard, this time at the Fullgaz Race in Obergessertshausen in Germany. Sophie, Jacqueline and Nina were already at the start of the short race on Saturday. After a short but very fast race, Sophie was able to finish in a very good 10th place, while the other two took themselves out of the race with one riding mistake each.
But the next chance came on Sunday. Finn opened the race day with start number 1 at 9.00 a.m. In muddy and very cold conditions, he finished the race in 12th place. Congratulations Finn. Only a short time later it was time for the ladies to go full throttle. In a world champion field, Nina finished in a very good 4th place, Jacqueline in 11th place, Ramona in 14th place and Sophie in 17th place. Simon also had a little trouble with the tough conditions and finished the race in 17th place. Great performance from all!
After only a short breather, a few days later Ramona, Nina and Kim, together with Joana and Joe, went straight on to Spain to the Mediterranean Epic. Four days of racing, with lots of dust and awesome experiences lay ahead of them. The atmosphere was incredible!
Once again, our ladies achieved excellent results - almost every day we were represented on the podium. Ramona finished the races in 2nd, 3rd, 1st and 5th place, Nina secured 5th, 2nd, 7th and 6th place and Kim crossed the finish line in 9th, 9th, 8th and 9th place respectively. What a great performance by all. Especially for Ramona, it was something very special. Not only was she cheered on and celebrated everywhere, she also won the overall classification for the 3rd time in a row. What an achievement! But with a 5th place for Nina and a 9th place for
Kim in the overall classification, the other two ladies can also be very proud and satisfied of themselves. The race brought us success and great publicity. Riders and staff returned home proud and happy!
