Despite being beaten to the line by Soren Kragh Andersen at Eschborn-Frankfurt, Patrick Konrad believes there were plenty of positives for him to build upon heading into the Giro d'Italia.
“It was a really tough day of racing here! After the last weekend at Liège-Bastogne-Liège I knew my shape was good," Konrad told his BORA - hansgrohe team's official website following his runner-up finish in Germany. "With the new, harder parcours, I felt like I might be able to go for a result here. I’m happy with the podium but of course it would have been super nice to take the win.

"In the finale I was positioned very well but ultimately Kragh Andersen was simply stronger. I’m heading to the Giro now with a very good feeling and really look forward to the next three weeks of racing in Italy," he says defiantly.
