Hi everybody! After some traning rides, it was finally time for my first professional race: the GP di Lugano in Switzerland. It was very cold, but still doable. Soem of my relatives came visiting me, because Liechtenstein is very close to Switzerland. Unfortunately, my first race will be remembered by a crash. I kissed the tarmac after 50 kilometers together with Allan, another neo-pro. No major injuries, luckily. I managed to rejoin the peleton very quickly. I eventually finished 37th, 1 minute behind the winner Karpets. Not a bad debut!

Result: 37th (+ 51)
