Brilliant sunshine, fabulous landscape and motivated athletes all around! I just discovered the magnificent region of Salzkammergut in Austria! Had a great journey and feel honored to present the Para-cycling European Cup this weekend. I show all my respect to those handbikers who will fight for the gold medal and try to collect some qualification points for the 2016 Rio Paralympics. It will be an unforgettable experience both for me and the riders!
