Zdenek rode his only cyclocross race of the season. Our Czech finished twentieth in Essen. “I expected much worse. And in the final lap I had a flat tire, so maybe I could finish thirteen or fourteenth. Not bad, I think.”
“I felt like I had won the race when I crossed the line”, Styby said afterwards. “The fans were very excited to applaud. That was really great and I enjoyed it very much. If I could, I would start tomorrow again, but I will not. I will fly to Mallorca to prepare myself for the road season.”
