Pssst! The latest insider news: Christian Knees's diary at the Tour of Qatar.
27/01/2025
1st stage: team time trial
Dear Team MILRAM fans,
today was the time trial over six kilometers. Me and my roommate Grabschi started the day quite relaxed. We slept in and left out the voluntary training at 10 o’clock. The others were out for an hour, but finally our decision turned out to be the better one. It rained a lot this morning, and when the others came back they looked like they had just been on a cross round.
Now the race: our start was at 3:20 p.m. and we were motivated to do as good a job as we did last year when we finished second. We got quite well over the six kilometers. Only in the first roundabout did we lose some time when the others couldn’t hold my back wheel. But otherwise everything was fine.
Finally, we finished 13th with 6:48 minutes after Quick Step, who won with 6:14 minutes.
See you soon,
Christian

Liebe Team MILRAM Fans,
this is my first report this year from Qatar. The Tour of Qatar is my start of the season again this year.
The journey was quite relaxed. I watched three films during the seven hours' flight. From the airport we were taken directly to the hotel in Doha. But unfortunately, our bus broke down a kilometer to the hotel. However, we made the best of it and took a little walk - not the worst thing on a travelling day.
The first two days we trained a lot. Now, we've still got until Sunday to prepare for the tour, which starts with a team time trial over six kilometers. And for everybody who is interested in the weather: wind, a lot of wind at 20 to 25 degrees - the same as the years before.
We'll see how the race develops. You'll hear about it here.
See you soon,
Christian
