Happy New Year
I hope that all of you have started out the New Year as well as I did. For the first time I celebrated New Year's Eve in Switzerland. However, the party was not at my house but at that of my almost-neighbor, Marcel Kittel.
In the winter I am underway as much as in the summer. I have not been home since the beginning of December. Instead, I was in a training camp at Lake Tegern and then on Majorca. I spent Christmas with my family in Berlin and I will start my next training camp on Gran Canaria next Monday. I am already looking forward to the first races!
I wish you all a healthy and successful New Year 2020! Yours, Maximilian.

Impressive 5 days in Ethiopia
Hi Guys,
I have been back from Ethiopia for a week now. During the five days, I had the chance to dive into a completely new world for me. I consciously took some time to reflect and process on my experiences and impressions.
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. But don't worry, nobody got injured and we had a lot of fun.
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.
