After riding for Team Maxx Solar for the past two years, I'm taking a slightly different approach this year. The bright neon yellow has been replaced by a rich blue. Last weekend, at the Fahrrad Essen trade fair, I was able to present the new jersey of the Koga Ladies-Central Rhede-Fachklinik Dr.Herzog-Cycling Team for the first time, together with my new teammates.
However, as some of the girls are currently in Cali, Colombia for the Track World Championships, only the remaining ten riders were there, including reigning Bundesliga winner Esther Fennel.
A tight schedule awaited us in Essen. Two presentations were held, first at the booth of our team sponsor Koga and then at the booth of the state association of North Rhine-Westphalia. A few autograph cards were also signed and I had the opportunity, as I am new to the team, to get to know the girls a little better. It was a tiring but successful day. I think I'll find my way into the team quickly. The season will certainly be successful. My racing calendar is ready. But before I pin my bib number to my new jersey for the first time, tomorrow it will be: Mallorca. I will collect my remaining training kilometers here by mid-March and also test one or the other product. The results are then in the usual place. I will keep you up to date on the course of the season here in the editorial blog.
In this sense!
