Yesterday 5th in a hectic sprintrace and today 4th in the XC. I must say I am starting to get back to the racing after being off mentally for a while. This was the first race since Houffalize in the beginning of may that I feel good both fiscally and mentally. I had solid races but lack some power when changing rhythm. I am going back home to Sweden tomorrow and will spend 3 days next week together with the Nationalteam at Bosön in Stockholm. Trainingcamp! Happy about my feeling and looking forward to upcoming racing! A big thanks to the team www.debrink-tentusscher.nl for an awesome job.

Back home in Sweden again after a few days in Netherlands and Germany. New equipment, new staff and new riders. I am happy to be able to ride again but I wasn´t myself in the race in Albstadt. I felt good on the new bike the few km I managed to do before the race, but with full power my body didn´t respond super to the new position on the bike. I am sitting with sore knees and back today =) I am not stressed about it tough. I know it takes time to get into a new bike, at my last one I had up to date 300 hours of ridingtime.
I will spend some days at home in order to prepare and get use to new material before going to Germany again next week.
Soon I post some new pictures.
Take care/ E
As from today I am representing a new team. It has been a lot of talks the last couple of weeks and I am really happy to be able to continue to race on a top level.
I have signed a contract with well known in the MTB scene Jan Ten Tusscher and his UCI-Team De Brink-Tentusscher. As from now on I race on a super nice bike from Focus and in red clothing.
I will already start my first race for the team tomorrow. I am feeling great in the new kit and I am getting used to the new material. It´s a but different tough but I am a quick learner. =)
I will post new pictures and a small update of the page made by www.haal.se will happened in the near future.
Now bedtime and tomorrow Bundesliga in Albstadt, Germany. I hope for good legs.
www.bikesportnews.de and their Live Ticker for live updates from the race. Starts at 14.15.
