DSB: Confident victories for Ferreira and Kollmann over 113 km

In the men's category, Tiago Ferreira won for the first time confidently ahead of the previous winners, the Greek Ilias Periklis (2014) and Kristian Hynek (2013) from the Czech Republic. The Portuguese finished the race after 4:26.22 hours. His lead over the second-placed Greek was 1.35 minutes, while Hynek finished 2.56 minutes after the winner.

The race started very quickly. Seven riders initially dictated the pace before Ferreira was able to break away for the first time on the second climb to Silvesterplatz. Ilias Periklis and Leonardo Paez tried to catch up with the leading Portuguese. The Colombian initially launched an attack on the helmet, but Periklis was able to keep up. Together the two managed to catch up with Ferreira shortly before Dobbiaco. The eventual winner launched the decisive attack on the Plätzwiese, where he mobilized all his strength on the flat section and left his pursuers standing.

“My good form is due to the long World Cup preparation, which came to fruition today.” Ilias Periklis was able to mobilize his last reserves once again on the Plätzwiese and definitely leave Paez, who had not consumed enough fluids, behind him. Paez was also overtaken by Kristian Hynek, who was very happy with his result due to his lack of training in recent weeks due to injury. World champion Alban Lakata, who came fifth, had “heavy legs” the day before the race. “Tiago didn’t just have one more gear today, but three,” said the best-placed Italian, Damiano Ferraro (7th).

Christina Kollmann also celebrates her debut victory In the women's race, Christina Kollmann from Austria reached the finish line first after 5:27.04 hours and a lead of 7.16 minutes over Annabella Stropparo (ITA). 9.31:XNUMX minutes later, Sosna Katazina from Lithuania finished the race. “The start was very hectic,” said the winner at the finish. “For a long time I thought I was in the lead, but that wasn’t true because Annabella Stropparo was ahead of me.”

Kollmann was only able to catch up with her at Haunold after the former Italian champion had a tire defect. She then had to cover the rest of the route alone. “I drove from Toblach towards Schluderbach with a group of men, but the men didn’t really want to help me…”. The 27-year-old Austrian national champion, who took part in the Dolomiti Superbike for the first time, found the last climb to the Plätzwiese “brutal”. Stropparo, who is 20 years older and was a multiple Italian champion, has recently won four marathon races.

Third-placed Katazina, who comes from road racing, suffered extremely from the heat: “It’s my first year as a mountain biker. “I still don’t have the right skiing technique on the descents,” she says. The first climbs were particularly difficult for her, but she found her rhythm in the second and faster part of the course. Triple winner Sally Bigham was unable to start due to a flu-like infection.
