| Pasta Party mountain station Scuol, 3 Section |
This morning we went out early because we have not found directly in Scuol one night. That is, one is dependent on the shuttle service (which is the remainder of the regular bus service), because our site is about 450m Ftan Scoul - with the bike after the stage for us to overcome impossible.
This "shuttle service runs every hour then, so we had to be ready by 7:15. Unfortunately, we could then enjoy the wonderful breakfast not in full, the view was huge in the morning sun.

had on time at the bus stop we notice that the bus drove past 5min - correctly. That is then hitchhike to Scuol, thank you again to the Italians by the organization team in Livigno. Our bikes we had in the Parc Ferme, for the second time we have placed the bike there. It has been a strange feeling to leave his valuable and expensive treasure in the morning hoping to be able to take it back to reception.
Before, we were always late to the grid, this changed today. But you are allowed to stand and wait 60min.

But then we started last, in the best stage so far this Transalp. Given tomorrow's Queen stage, we went there to calm, but even if we had wanted, it would not go faster. Our average pulse rate decreased from the first stage of 170 beats per minute to now just under 150 beats per minute. We just do not have enough leg strength to be able to keep the tempo high.
pure at 37 ° C and sun we enjoyed probably one of the best biking spots in the Alps, a beautiful single track with lots of flow and in part directly on the precipice of an absolute dream for every biker. The stage was rather flat slopes and many flat pieces - which are located more or less the other teams better. After 4:30 we arrived at the 109th Place finish, it seems as if these swings placements with us. Unfortunately, you could not really relax now, the legs are flat. Blank, no more pressure. And tomorrow's 3500 meters in altitude and 107km want to ... our only dope today the pasta party will be and horse balm. Perhaps this helps us keep your fingers crossed that we survive tomorrow's stage.

Wir haben wirklich Respekt vor der morgigen Etappe. Die vier Wochen Vorbereitung war einfach zu kurz, es fehlt die Grundlage um diese Mördertour zu überstehen. Langsam aber sicher müssen wir uns richtig quälen.
Apropos morgige Etappe, es gibt während diesem Event unzählig viele Erlebnisse und Geschichten zu erzählen, die man als Außenstehender leider nie mitbekommt. Ob nun ein Führungswechsel an der Spitze stattgefunden hat ist sicherlich interessant, es gibt da aber Einiges anderes was fasziniert…
… die Berggiganten, die gestern (3. Etappe) um 18.30Uhr nach 9,5h ins Ziel kamen – and then glide back in full gear for the pasta party at the top station in Scuol. So far they have gone a stage at 9am. Madness!
... the first reports to the mountain giants gathered today (stage 4) after 5 hours at the first checkpoint (first aid station). That would mean another finish line by about 18.30Uhr. Hats off to the two, they are every morning at the start! It is believed that they need 12 hours tomorrow for the stage.
... there was already at the first stage of a team that suffered a serious defect and summarily a new bike in the next village to buy to be back in the race.
... that Scott Mechanics team ready until late into the night making bikes.
... on 8.8.2010 running on Sport 1 Sport STOKE 9.00-9:30 a mission to the Bike Transalp 2010 (repetition 15/08/2010).
... that constitute an unofficial aid stations Wettessmeisterschaft (in which we lose, moreover, always too much time).
... that Nico could break with his Transalp bag the previous record of 36kg.
