Transalpine Run: Jung/Paulmichl lose the lead

Before the final two stages in South Tyrol - tomorrow the seventh stage ends in St. Valentin auf der Haide, the day after tomorrow the eighth and final one in Sulden - the two Vinschgers Daniel Jung and Ivan Paulmichl had to give up the overall lead in the Transalpine Run for the time being. Today they lost 3 minutes to the brothers Oscar and Marc Casal from Andorra (48.54:16.47) and are now in second place in the overall ranking, almost nine minutes behind. Third place today - for the fourth time at this year's Transalpine Run - was taken by the German team Benjamin Sperl and Lukas Nägele, who are also in third place in the overall ranking.

A familiar sight in the Senior Master category, in which both team members must be at least 100 years old: Oswald and Richard Wenin from Ultimo celebrated their fourth daily victory in a row today. Nevertheless, they remain in second place in the overall ranking in their category behind Jörg Schreiber and Thomas Miksch, who were also in second place today. The two people from Ultimo took 4 minutes off them today with a time of 35.57:3.55, but the gap in the overall ranking is still around 47 minutes.

Third victory of the day for Gross/Kröss

Day number two for the South Tyrolean teams was won today by the team of Annemarie Gross and Franz Kröss in the Master Mixed category, which crossed the finish line in Scuol after 4:46.14. In their third victory of the day in the Transalpine Run, the Gross/Kröss duo had a lead of 10.35 minutes over the German team of Andrea Feuerstein-Rauch and Petru Muntenasu, who were also second in the overall ranking in this category. In the overall ranking, the lead of the two South Tyroleans is already over 50 minutes.

However, the second South Tyrolean team in the Master Mixed category experienced a slump today. Annelis Felderer and Markus Planötscher crossed the finish line in Scuol in ninth place in their category, 50.19 minutes behind, and thus slipped to fifth place in the overall ranking (distance: 1:51.41).

The sixth stage of this year's Transalpine Run took runners today through the Silvretta Mountains from Samnaun to Scuol in the Lower Engadine. And this stage also boasted impressive numbers: 37,1 kilometers long, 2064 meters in altitude ascent, 2698 meters in altitude and all of this at high altitude, with the 2700 meter mark being broken twice today.

Tomorrow destination in St. Valentin auf der Haide

Tomorrow the Transalpine Run comes to South Tyrol. The seventh stage leads from Scuol through the Uina Gorge up to the Schlinig Pass and from there on single trails to the Sesvenna and Plantapatsch huts on the Watles. The last climb is the 2412 meter high Schafberg before you head over the Oberdörfer Alm down to St. Valentin auf der Haide.
