Elin Amundsen yesterday scored another superb second spot in the Tour d' Energie 80km race in Göttingen. She initially appeared stronger than eventual race winner Annika Grüber, but when the latter made her move at Hoher Hagen, a rather steep and irregular 2km climb 12km from the finish, Elin had to let go. Annika was the overall T-Mobile Tour winner last season and can always count on two, three male Agapedia teammates by her side, so Elin has no reason to be disappointed. In fact, normally she is now leading the T-Mobile Tour as Grüber was only fourth in Cologne three weeks ago...
In the men's race, I crossed the line between an estimated15 and 20th place. The netto-time based result put me just inside the top 10. Cyril Monnet equalled last season's result with 84th, and Morten Hansen sadly suffered a big crash which put him out of contention. Luckily, he did not break anything but he did bruise a few ribs.
There were 1800 participants. More info in my full race report later this week.
