Technical problems on Saturday´s race left Hans in 13th position. Due to the bumps the chain jumped several times and sometime it was hooked losing a valuable time that he tried to recover sprinting and advancing other competitors, that for two times they were ahead, but during last lap he had a new trouble with the gear shift, so he lost few positions just arriving to the end of the race, so we can consider that it was a good result despite the adversities.
Hans currently keeps the 8th position at the EHC classification, and nowadays he is preparing the next touch race in Lugado (Switzerland). His coach has prepared some extreme routines to get the maximum strength for trying a podium at the next race in September.
Hans and all Xieta staff wants to use this message for wishing to all you a nice Summer holidays.
Hans remains an example of perseverance and effort for all of us. We are proud to be partakers of his sportive career.
