Breakfast before Michas team mates came and picked us up.
Yann Guyader.
It was not allowed to race with 125 mm wheels so Micha had to switch to 110 mm. But he didn't have time enough to replace both frames so he raced like this.
16 laps x 2,6 km = 42 km. It rained and was wet during the whole race (even though it can't be seen on the photos). Many corners...
Micha skated fast and was ahead of me all the time. (Photo: Sylvie Geoffroy, published here by courtesy of Kévin Lesueur at www.mediaskates.com (opens in separate window).

Checking the result list.
Micha and his team mates from Freiburg.
They dropped me off here in front of the railway station in Strasbourg. (View from the hotel.)
It felt a bit strange to go out for dinner alone after having had company for two weeks. The only thing reminding me of what I had been a part of was this EO Race poster. The next day I flew back to Sweden.
