Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend in Latvia! There's a lot to learn from the vibe of the Latvians, and the extraordinary well organized event. The Latvian humbleness could be exemplified in Kuzmins words during the contest:

"You know, Anders, I'm sorry to beat you, but I just want to win" :-)

Thanks for the Rigas Sampanietis Pussaldais - Togehter with the delicious cake, it will be a perfect warm up for the race in Stockholm, at least mentally. (Only in a comeptition organized with love, you win an enormous cake, besides trucks, wheels and stuff!). The magnum bottles caused an overweight by 5,5 kilo = 25 Latvis = 34 €.

Among the things that impressed me, there are many things to add. From the architecture (I just loved the hotel, which Uldis told me was in a 70's Sovjetian style, and the picturesque, beautiful and exclusive villas from the late 1800's) to the startramps. There are a million reasons to go to Latvia, the World Baltic Sea Cup is one.
