I have been sidelined the whole season thanks to a herniated disc.
It was really bad luck for me. I moved to the US and my winter training had been nearly perfect.
One month before the beginning of the season, everything was over.
A few weeks after the problem I was able to walk freely and to travel to the different races, where I had the chance to act as IIDA president only.
This pic has been taken in Schoenberg am Kamp, AUT, during a rider meeting before the beginning of the IIDA world cup race. The course was wet and treacheous.
