Medi-Trainer draws a comparison to the Tour de France
Against the relegation candidates from Saxony-Anhalt, Medi had to do without the two center players Andreas Seiferth and Martynas Sajus in addition to Cameron Wells and Marcus Thornton due to injury and illness. Bayreuth’s coach Raoul Korner didn’t want to blame his team after the defeat and, given the ongoing personnel problems at Medi Bayreuth, found a quite unusual comparison.
“It felt like we were going to have to do the Tour de France on a tricycle. We struggled, but ultimately we have to admit that it wasn’t enough.” Raoul Korner, coach Medi Bayreuth
