Keller hasn’t had much time since winning the XCC World Championship title and bronze medal in XCO. «I’ve used the last few days to process everything I’ve experienced and to recover at the same time. Tomorow I’ll stand at the starting line in Lenzerheide with renewed strength and motivation,» adds Keller.
The entire Thömus maxon team is looking forward to the home World Cup with great anticipation.
