They were both a bit tired. Suchanek looked very tired and exhausted. Gena was all broken after his car crash. Everyone from the TV staff was smoking one cigarette after another, you could barely breathe inside the Metro theater. I talked with Kveta Fialova and her daughter took care of covering up all the brand names on my bike. She kept telling me not to talk about any of my sponsors. I was a bit afraid my tongue would slip since the main theme of the debate was my bike and its components.

And then they completely caught me off guard with their question: “And what does SUP mean on your bike? Is that your nickname?”  ຯ hm, what to tell them? It’s the short version of my bike’s name ຯ Superiorຯ their faces turned into stone J They wanted me to ride into the studio on my bike, down the stairs and onto the podium. I had Alpine Pro shoes, no MTB shoes, so in the end I just carried my bike. And how did the rest of the show go? Watch TV Nova at 22.35 on Sunday.
