The week following Albstadt was another big race in Granichen, Switzerland as part of the BMC Racing Cup. It was a stacked field but with HC Elite points up for grabs I set my goal as a top 15 finish in the Elite Men. The mercury soared north of 30 degrees which made racing just that little bit more uncomfortable. I had a solid start entering the single-track inside the top 15. I managed to find a good group to ride with making up positions 9 through to 12 and sat with them for the majority of the race. On the last 2 laps I faded a bit but managed to hang on for 12th position in Elite and 2nd U23 picking up some valuable points. Now I’m looking forward to 3 weeks good solid training before the next World Cup in Lenzerheide, Switzerland on the 5th of July. I’d love to be back on the podium by then!

There are many things I love about mountain biking – the people you meet, the skills you need, the concentration it requires, race strategy, the opportunities to explore new places and countries.
