A Swiss and a French woman celebrate in Nals - South Tyroleans come away empty-handed

The traditional cross-country race has been held in Nalles since 2001. Some of the best mountain bikers in the world have always taken part, but this Saturday almost the entire world elite was there.

Among other things, the Swiss superstar Nino Schurter competed in Nals for the second time. While he had celebrated a victory in 2, this time he ended up in second place. Another Swiss, Mathias Flückiger, took victory in the prestigious “Sunshine Race”, which this time formed the third stage of the “Internazionali d'Italia”. He was 2010 seconds faster than Schurter.

Third place went to the French Maxime Marotte (+ 3 seconds), who prevailed in the photo finish ahead of the Czech Ondrej Cink. Nadir Colledani finished as the best Azzurro in 11th place.

However, there was nothing to gain for Gerhard Kerschbaumer. The 29-year-old from Verdings didn't get past 26th place. Fabian Rabensteiner from Villandro finished the race in 33rd place. In total, almost 200 bikers took part in the men's elite race. Lecomte wins the women's event In the women's elite race, Loana Lecomte from France came out on top in 1:22.02 hours ahead of her compatriot Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (+1.44). Third place went to the Austrian Mona Mitterwallner.

Among the juniors, Noemi Plankensteiner made it into the top 8 in 10th place and Sophie Auer (both St. Lorenzen) in 10th place. The victory went to Azzurra Sara Cortinovis. The races were part of the “UCI Junior Series”, a kind of world cup for this age group, and featured top-class participants.
