Christoph Sauser wins 2010 Trans Germany!

It does feels great to win a stage race! Over all those days to bring it home worth much more then just a one day race.

Over 30km/h was our average speed! Probably my fastest race ever on a mountain bike. It was a lot of asphalt though, but no tail wind. My Stumpjumper 29er again, was a real bomb! Once that thing was on speed you more and less have to break it down only

On the very last climb which was steep, technical and slippery, Albanator, Robert and myself broke away. The two are Ergon-Topeak teammates, and the chance of a double victory made them or us going super fast on the last 15km on gravel roads towards the “Bodensee”. Always 45km/h! I did not know that I can ride so fast on a mountain bike.

Many thanks to Sandy and Claire for the great support! Claire had a pretty stressful time, not missing or missing the feeds. So it has been for all the other teams too. GPS, Google maps and paper maps just don’t help much when there is traffic jam, accidents or the police does road closures.
