Instead, the regular amateur coach Hösele had to explain how he wanted to create his three-game mission on the bridge. “If yesterday at the same time who told me that I was sitting there today, I would not have really believed it,” said the 51-year-old. The Thursday evening, when the separation from El Maestro was pronounced, was more stressful than expected with meetings, training preparation and video analyzes.
Small or larger knots
On Friday morning, Hösele trained for the first time with the fighting team. “The boys make a great impression,” he said. “Now we have to do everything we can to make the three games as successful as possible.” A change of coach could always make a difference because suddenly there was a different address. “It can cause smaller knots to burst – possibly larger ones too,” said Hösele. After 29 laps, Sturm is sixth in the master group, the difference to the fifth placed Hartbergers is four points.
