Four core riders of the ECB Cyclosports Team are travelling to Niedersachsen on Sunday for the third edition of the Tour d' Energie jedermann race, leg 2 of the 2007 T-Mobile Cycling Tour. The early summer weather will continue so we could expect another big group making it to the finish line - like three weeks ago in Cologne.
I myself have really enjoyed racing in Göttingen the past two years. It's very well organised and somehow the atmoshere is still an extra friendlier and stimulating then for other T-Mobile races. Apart from that, the so-called pacco gara is also excellent, especially the CDR filled with photos of the race that every participant receives after the event.
The ECB quartet consists of myself, Cyril Monnet, Morten Hansen and Elin Amundsen. My goal is simple: don't do worse than 41st (2005) or 36th (2006) :-)
For Elin, second in Cologne, it is the first start in Göttingen. She will square off against her main rivals Annette Kolf, Jennifer Schloden and Annika Grüber again for the win.
Cyril is the man to watch. The talented Frenchman has (finally) managed to train consistently for months and is in the shape of his life. Last year he was 84th, now he should be able to get closer to the front. The same for Morten. He put himself under a strict regime over the winter and enters the season with confidence and without superfluous weight. He finished in 308th spot last season, a top 200 rank is not impossible.
