Dressed like a champion #gelatosocks

Heard some comments on my Gelatosocks:

And today googling pictures after reading Katja’s blog about CX clothing I have to share this. There are more people riding with this cool Swiss (or Italian?) socks:

But just because one guy more using them, is it right then? Like saying that an AX-Lightness rim is good just because people ride with them, it’s a difference saying Alexandra Engen won the World Championships on them. Used by a World Champion can’t be wrong, can it?

So to get to the point. Kathrin Stirnemann won the XCE World Championships this year and look at her socks:

Also used by other Swiss and Italian riders:

So just to order a pair or two you too 😀

Andorra day 3 WCstyle

A big day up on the mountain today started at 9 with women u23. Jenny Rissveds had some altitude problems but did her best with a hard start, falling down to 9th and then passing two in the end and end up 7th. Awesome girl

Then women elite with a German win with Sabine Spitz. With riders like Marianne Vos

Lisi Osl that I hoped should do a bit better today

Kathrin Leumann that always seems to ride good

Julie Bresset that started showing that it wasn’t a French day today

Eva Lechner that rode well and got a third place

Jolanda Jeff that got 7th

Maja Wloszczowska that started well but faded

And the favorite that didn’t have the best time before with a cold. Rode good first three laps and then she stepped up showing she knows how to race, ended 7th. Awesome

Ann Berglund came 38th. Her the elite swedes

And then we got the crowd, was better than I thought and cheering for Spain and France they were best on

There men elite was fun but a bit sad as something happened to Absalon in the start so he was last. The Czech Merida rider rode for a long time in the front before Schurter caught him on the last lap and won

Ending with saying that I will write about the cool technical things I’ve seen tomorrow and showing a tired Miguel Martinez

Andorra world cup XCE

Was watching the exciting world cup live today on a mountain. Not the most spectators but huge area and fast riders. Start of the women finals:

1. Kathrin Stirnemann – SWI
2. Alexandra Engen – SWE
3. Jenny Rissveds – SWE
4. Jolanda Neff – SWI
5. Linda Indergaand – SWI
6. Nathalie Schneitter – SWI
understandable that the Americans have a hard time seeing the difference between Sweden and Switzerland 😉

And the lovely car that I drive down here, Fiat 500:
