Posted by Editoress on 05/16/10
International MTB-Bundesliga in Heubach, Germany
At Heubach’s star-packed MTB-bundesliga race, the Multivan Merida Biking Team showed a splendid team performance: All three team members finished in the top 15. The strongest of the trio was Spain’s José Hermida, finishing in third. "I have never been this good here. Just one week before the next Worldcup race, everybody is trying to get into the best-possible shape. And the race truely was star-packed":, Hermida commented at the finish.
Moritz Milatz finished in fifth. As Milatz had already finished in second in the sprint ridden before the main event, he also proved that his form is right on target for Offenburg’s upcoming Worldcup race. Finishing in 15th, Jochen Käß completed the fine team performance.
