Hanka Kupfernagel (GER) is not to slow down

Monday, 12 December 2011 09:28

It seems as if she is indestructible. Since November Hanka Kupfernagel startet at three international renowned events and landed on the podium each time. Despite weary legs from training Hanka managed to finish  second place at the cyclocross race in French Nommay.

At the 33rd International cyclocross in Frenkendorf, Switzerland the CASCO rider even managed a victory. With only two seconds advantage in 41: 08 minutes time she expelled Sabrina Schweizer from Germany to second place. In such tight decisions everything has to simply fit: the will to win, a very good race preparation and optimum equipment.

Her third place at the traditional Frankfurter Bikecross (GER) is "very satisfying"  for Hanka Kupfernagel. " After a forced pause due to a lengthy virus infection this was a very good race for me again which I can build on.”

The CASCO team is excited and keeps their fingers crossed.
