Kristina Vogel criticizes the coaching staff of the German track cycling team on ZDF. Then she also shares details about Maximilian Levy’s future. The reactions from the national coach and Levy are violent.
Dhe criticism from record world champion Kristina Vogel did not go down well in the German track bike camp. “I don’t think Kristina is capable of judging it. She wasn’t necessarily the most tactically variable racing driver either. She did a lot about her physique and mental strength, ”said national coach Detlef Uibel.
ZDF expert Vogel had previously complained that the German team lacked a tactics trainer. “Every country down there has a national coach for the tactics, except we don’t,” said Vogel, paralyzed after a track bike training accident, but the criticism did not refer to Uibel, but called for an assistant coach.

“I would have liked her to be a bit more objective and calm in the public discussion that she initiated,” added Uibel.
Even the veteran didn’t like the fact that Vogel Sonntag revealed during the TV broadcast that Maximilian Levy is going to be junior national coach: “That’s all under discussion, but maybe Kristina should talk to me about it first. I heard she said a few things that people find strange. ”Levy and Vogel are actually close friends. When Vogel had her serious accident on the Oval in Cottbus in 2018, Levy was the first to see her and take care of her.
34-year-old Levy, who finished sixth in the Keirin final, will end his career, said Uibel, who is looking forward to working with him again. “If he admits to it, then all paths are open to him. We are happy that we can bring an experienced racing driver into this position. “
