Philipp is busy these days as the time trial races are picking up and there are some almost every week. Last week he was racing another race at the Röhsler Cup which was a 9km slightly uphill at the beginning and ended in a super steep finish ramping up to 17.5 % which definitely isn’t the course suited him. He managed a 17th overall and a 9th in his age group and now sits 3rd in the all overall cup. Next ITT was one in Upper Austria in Perg through the super lovely „Naantal“. A 17,5 km course where the first half was slightly uphill but after the turnaround a super fast rolling downhill. A fun TT where he managed to finish 13th overall and 6th in his age group.

Last week Philipp went to the second ITT of the Röhsler Cup. This was a new course in Lower Austria towards Burgenland, where the upness is defined only by a bridge over a highway. This is the longest ITT from the cup series with 22 km, but pretty much pan flat. One hair pin, 3 fast corners and flat good rolling roads. So this was meant to be fun, and it was. Philipp sticked to his pacing plan, suffered at the end and was more than happy with his ride. The field got bigger and better since the last TT race as the sun was out. But he still managed a good 15th place, just a couple seconds away from another top 10 and to a 5th place in his age group. Philipp now sits 3rd in the cup in his category and his looking forward to the next more hilly TTs.
