Whats up?

We had a hard time the last two months. Stefan and I did not work at all and concentrated in testing and improving Metastretto. We were at Dekra four times. The first two times we improved Metastretto step by step, going even faster and faster. Martin and my father assisted us too. I am happy with the completely new bike. The shape, the ergonomy, the wheels and the drivetrain, to mention only a few of them, were designed to be better, faster and more efficient than our Recordbike Eiviestretto. Very thanks to Robert, Simon and Walter who helped to finalize my ideas! The bike seems to be faster than Eiviestretto and it is a joy riding it.
During all this period I trained hard and get in very good shape. Some weeks ago I had a power-weight ratio of 5:1. Let’s start on the Tour de France! 🙂
Two times we travelled to Dekra for record attempts. Observers were there, we rent the track but had both times bad weather! We couldn’t start at all in the scheduled time. The track was overall wet after rain or it was dry but very windy. It was stressful to be at place every second weekend and to organise all.
Now I am not able to attend the following Record-Weekend at Dekra due to health reasons. I got an infection and fever the last days. We don’t give up! I try to get well as soon as possible, restart training and prepare for future attempts! We dream about finishing 16 laps in one hour or to push the hour record above 94km!
