Lang training hard

By Susan Westemeyer

Gerolsteiner's Sebastian Lang is taking advantage of the mild German weather to get in as much training as possible. He rides frequently with Christian Bach of the Thüringer Energie Team and noted that this past weekend the two rode for four hours on Saturday and five hours on Sunday. Lang is combining his road work with mountain biking, running and weight lifting.

A dedicated worker, he even managed to get in some training during the team's recent team meeting, he writes on his website, www.seppels.net. There was a lot to do, planning the racing schedule, being fitted for shoes and clothing, posing for photos, meeting the new teammates, which made it difficult, "but it still worked out."
