Normally already starting on the second, the organisation had to shorten the stage race to only five days. Still I expect it to be pretty tough. With mountains of almost 1000 meters Altitude Slovakia provides a good basis for upcoming events. Since I'm starting to get a little tired, I decided to give my body a short brake after the Flèche and start with serious training again after one week of recovery and a visit at home in the beautiful Black Forest.
