So far, it wasn't a season to remember for Maximilian Schachmann. The BORA - hansgrohe riderhas been struggling with health for over a year now. His 2021 form is till nowhere to be found, but 14th place against a strong field gives the 29-year old German a lot of motivation for days (and weeks) to come.
"This was my first time trial this year and it was good to be back in the race. I had a lot of downtime in the spring because of my health and it was tough. My performance today wasn't necessarily outstanding but solid and I'm pretty happy with that. It's a good return to stage racing," says Max Schachmann.
