After we have been in Scotland for more than two weeks we have many stories to tell- but because the amount would blast the frame of a single post we did a kind of video summary of the whole trip, which get produced by the guys of mtbfreeride.tv.

2 weeks on the road with Filip from Winterberg to Amsterdam to Innerleithen to Fort William produces a lot of stories, which would blast the volume of a single post. The impressions are so manifold and not just about racing- it’s more about the everyday life with the team and friends who become your family when you are on the road for so long during the race season.
As already said an exact renarration of more than 3 weeks on the road would blast the volume of a single post, but at least we can show you some personal impressions of Filip:

After a really disappointing race weekend in Fort William/ SCO without a top placing we left UK for racing the “wheels of speed” in Willingen and a downhill race at the Balaton bike festival in Hungary.

While Steve, Luke, Brook and Lewis were staying in Willingen, Filip incurred the travails of a long trip and fly to Hungary to race at the Ballaton bike festival. Even it is not well known some other teams found their way to Hungary and so Filip raced again some of the top riders of the UCI world cup.

Text massage of Filip:
I smoked them all!!! Blenkinsop 2nd, Delfs 3rd, Straight 4th!!! Now to get home and drive till 10am! Than ready for Willingen pratice! See u soon!
After he had arrived in Willingen, Filip was able to qualify on 6th position. Steve was 4th in the seeding round and Luke was 14th. Also Lewis and Brook haven’t been far of and so we are in a good position for the “wheels of speed”.

Stay tuned for more news of the “wheels of speed”
