Muktar Edris and Agnes Tirop win the BOclassic

In the men's field there was an Ethiopian double victory: Muktar Edris prevailed ahead of his compatriot Imane Merga and the Kenyan Jairus Birech. Edris initially led a group of six and from the last lap a group of four at the front of the field. But in the train station gallery he increased his speed, separated himself from the rest and finally crossed the finish line with a strong time of 28.52 minutes. Merga arrived two seconds later, Birech was third, five seconds behind. Yema Crippa, who comes from Ethiopia and grew up in Trentino, was the best Italian and came seventh.

Ploner and Steinwandter are doing well The South Tyroleans also did well: Markus Ploner came 30.43th with a time of 20 minutes and was satisfied with his race: “In the first two laps I had difficulty finding the right rhythm. But then I broke free and managed the rest well. I did better than I thought.” Triathlete Matthias Steinwandter crossed the finish line in 31.24nd place after 32 minutes and could also be satisfied.

Kenyan wins women's race In the women's field, Kenya's Agnes Tirop and Ethiopia's Gelete Burka were neck-and-neck until shortly before the end. Then the Kenyan, herself a cross-country world champion, stepped up her game and ultimately beat the Ethiopian by five seconds with a top time of 15.44 minutes. So Tirop celebrated a victory straight away at her BOclassic premiere. A lady from Ethiopia, Etenesh Diro, also came third. Silvia Weissteiner had to cancel her participation in advance due to a knee injury.

In the Ladurnerlauf, the men's victory went to the German Marc Tortell, who prevailed against Khalid Jbari and Daniel Pattis. In the women's category, Lisa Schanung triumphed ahead of Petra Pircher and Vera Mair. Roland Rüpp was unbeatable in the handbike race.
