10 athletes receive a night pass - Durogati has to serve a time penalty

The Red Bull X-Alps reaches the final for the remaining 15 athletes still on the road. They are spread over a distance of over 350km - from Upper Savoie in France to South Tyrol - and are focused solely on covering as much distance as possible before the race stops at 2am local time on Friday 11.30 July. Ten athletes have received a night pass; for them, the fight for positions continues throughout the night and into tomorrow. These include Tom de Dorlodot (BEL), Eduardo Garza (MEX), Paul Guschlbauer (AUT1), Toma Coconea (ROU), Damien Lacaze (FRA5), Manuel Nübel (GER1), Michael Lacher (GER3), Steve Bramfit (GBR) and Michal Gierlach (POL). Yesterday afternoon the athletes were scattered in the area of Turnpoint 10, Piz Palü, and fought with good flights towards Kronplatz. However, all eyes are on Paul Guschlbauer (AUT1), who is the only athlete who still has hope of reaching the goal of a raft in Lake Zell. According to official racing partner Ubimet, rain is expected across large parts of the Alps. Fresh snow fell in the Hohe Tauern overnight, which will slow Guschlbauer as he makes his way across the main chain of the Alps from Italy to Austria. Durogati is no longer allowed to continue after 22.30:XNUMX p.m Aaron Durogati from Merano is one of the few athletes who did not use a Night Pass last night. However, he has to have one starting tomorrow Time penalty for an airspace violation dismount, effectively ending his race at 22.30pm this evening. He is currently in 6th place. Tobias Großrubatscher from Castelrotto is currently in 9th place. He may be able to catch Durogati on the home straight. The athlete who reached the finish last was Frenchman Benoît Outters, who arrived at the Schmittenhöhe at 20:45 p.m. on Wednesday evening after a grueling hike through thunderstorms. In the past 40 hours he had hiked 160 km, climbed 7.700 meters and only slept two hours. However, his efforts were rewarded with an evening glide to the target. There is live tracking of the X-Alps here.
