Votes needed for the Berlin Sportsman of the Year
After my successes this past season I have again made it onto the list of candidates for the Berlin Sports awards. If you want to see me all dressed up to the nines at the gala on December 14 in ESTREL, then VOTE FOR ME! Maybe this time I will move up from fourth place last year to a podium place this year, with your help. Thanks for your support! Yours, Max.
A season with highs and lows
The last race of the season is history, and it is time to take stock. In the last week I did some intensive team building with my team Bora-hansgrohe in Lienz, Austria. Those days were good for the whole team. In addition to a lot of meetings, where we of course looked towards the next season, we were also athletically active, including downhill.
Last race of the season in China
Today is the start of the six-day Gree-Tour of Guangxi. I am especially happy to be here at the start. Not just because as a land, China is always a real adventure, but also because after the many throwbacks this season, I have now worked myself into a performance level that makes me confident for this race.
No Worlds because of an infection
Actually I wanted to be in Canada now and ride the two races in Quebec and Montreal this weekend. Instead, I am home and happy that I am almost healthy again. The last weeks I have had to fight a persistent infection. With my eye on the World Championships, I was probably back on the bike too soon and had a relapse.
First race back in sight
If you were underway on your bike in Thüringen last week, then you might have seen me on the road. My hand has healed so well that I can finally use it for training on the road again. I started training on the rollers again only six days after my operation, to keep my training loss as small as possible. But since about a week I have been out in the fresh air again.
