The course here in Les Contamines (FRA) is really fun 
Yesterday we had the Qualification in Les Contamines (FRA) where I ended on 10th place despite a huge mistake.
Today we were supposed to have the race but due to the bad weather conditions (fog) the race will held tomorrow at 10 o’clock. We hope for better luck with the weather.
Here you can view Qualification results.

After the qualifikation yesterday I was not so happy. I made too many mistakes on this difficult course.
So a great challange will wait for me today with not the best start gate.
Starting fast is the only solution and will be my mission today!!!

Yesterday we had the first training which was little bit like a shock. The course is very tricky and difficult with almost no options to pass except someone is making a big mistake. We’ll see… Today is Qualification day and I have to make the first step to qualify for the race on tuesday.
I hope for the best!
