Crazy, long and hard day.
Lucky with the weather today, a bit cold at the start but good cycling weather. First 30km to the start of Kuhtai felt like a rat race, even with average over 54km/h, never saw the front of the bunch. Kuhtai was a hard pace immediately, it became a little less after the first 8-9km. The first group was about 45-50, who went into the downhill of Kuhtai. I think this is one of the fastest downhills in the Alps. 
At the Brennerpas the pace was low, and was more of endurance. But this gave sufficient time for recovery and eating and drinking. But I already knew that after Brenner the rest would be over..
Until the start of the Jaufenpas I could stay in the first group and then it was time to do my own pacing because there was still two big climbs upcoming. Pace was good, and the further in the climb I was catching guys.
And basically that it also how the Timmelsjoch went, good constant pace and picking up more and more guys. But men, what a long climb..
Overall I did a good race, good pacing at the two last climbs, nutrition plan worked good. I’m only missing my Oakley, which is still somewhere in the downhill of the Jaufen. Time to recover and overthink this race:)
