Saturday in the morning put the traveling circus Erzgebirgstour the last time this year on his tents. Only one voltage and grind the last driver in defeating the seven-kilometer-long Col de Fichtel Mountain. The weather was very modest - cold anyway, and the summit was totally in the fog, so that the target only got to see fifty yards before.
Finally started Hans Georg Sobek catch up again the last desperate attempt to Alex Steiner. Although he gave everything and in downhill speed, the finish line at the top happened, the 1:22 minute lead ranged from not more, to provide the overall standings on the head.
The only surprise was the strong sixth Place of John Reinboth, who took even the hockey Crack things "cold" behind it. The major effort was followed by a pleasant and successful lunch buffet. This self Ilmann was chief organizer of the recognition of his Toustars in the region around the Fichtel Mountain surprised as you discover the Erzgebirgstour cake on Buffett .

delighted and the crappy weather defying the Green Knight's departure to descend. In addition to driving through a construction site Mr. Vogel, I showed him the spot where John and Martin last week turned their action films had. Sebastian was the location of the site and its ground very pleased and said spontaneously: "The I call gonna be a racing track! "No sooner said it hissed even coming from his rear wheel and the alleged bike path showed its effect. After minutemlangem waiting for the mechanic vehicle that was stuck on the building site traffic, we wanted to move confidently fast the rear wheel. No way. ..! Only after the installation of the new bike was to Mr. Vogel ruefully that his circuit was a great ALDI offer. But he had not claimed the missing six speeds and is therefore already on for years with 24 speeds instead of 30. So hose still go ... of course now denied even the air pump - when things go wrong, then right then after half an eternity! everything still hammer out and off we went.
It took less than three kilometers and Michael Ho-Sang took the spare tire puncture after the first breakdown in loving care. It was fortunately the last defect that day. Beautiful walked calmly towards it Aue. Two events were noteworthy. First, some were annoyed by the cycling Zwickau hollow pear think they have to throw in volume from her blue walker out with an empty beer cans at me and my bike. Yeah, right ... alcohol makes hollow bulb ...! Second, John showed his skills again in Aue.
At Uncle Nickel's hut, he showed the enthusiastic followers of cycling the last time this year that he feels most at home on tarmac, it is "activated" again and again by the magic. Through the routine of his crash, he was of course no serious injuries immediately on two legs and cycled more unimpressed with the usual scrapes. Then finally the last meters of the tour ... on the Champs-Elysees de Popp forest we went twice through the Triumphal Arch of the Federal Railways, even once slowly and then sprint back.
Before the eyes of many waiting fans Steffen Milew completely secured the first victory earned during the Tour, while also balm for the ASZ wounds of the team that you know, a bit messed up tour this year behind him.
I considered myself completely out of the decision of the last stage but had the great honor of one of the great legends of cycling on his Erzgebirgstour accompany final meters of his long cycling career. Together with Martin, "The Legend" Illman, who finished his career in the stately age of 56, I rolled across the finish line and finished my first tour on ERZ podium 3rd place I probably will after the departure of Martin in the next year the honor of, in the young age of 39 years to become the oldest member of the tour.
Thanks again to all drivers to all coaches and sponsors, the time and money, so a tour that really works well to make it all possible.
