Eva Lechner back in form

In a time of 1:36,46 hours, the 33-year-old took 22nd place in the women's elite race. Maja Włoszczowska secured the day's victory (1:30,51 hours), the Pole was nine seconds faster than Emiliy Batty from Canada , Swiss Jolanda Neff came third (1:31,21).

Eva Lechner's “home race” on Sulzberg was an exciting battle from the start, led by a leading group around world champion Jolanda Neff from Switzerland. Also at the front is Gunn-Rita Dahle from Norway, now 45 years old. Plus Emily Batty from Canada, the Polish Maja Włoszczowska and the French Pauline Ferrand-Prévot. In the last lap there was a showdown on the dusty circuit in mid-summer temperatures. Maja Włoszczowska, the only Polish woman to have ever won a World Cup race at the elite level, was able to pull away from reigning world champion Jolanda Neff and ultimately crossed the finish line nine seconds ahead of Emily Batty and Jolanda Neff.

Eva Lechner from the US Team Luna got off to a good start. From the back of the starting group, the woman from Eppan with start number 34 made it into the top 15 and started the first lap just a few seconds behind. In the end, he finished 22nd. This is all the more astonishing since Lechner had a serious riding accident a month ago and was in the hospital with a concussion.

Greta Seiwald came 23th in the U18 women's category; the 21-year-old finished seven minutes behind the winner Sina Frei (1:01,08 hours) from Switzerland. The best “Azzurra” in sixth place is Martina Berta.

Result Elite Women: 1. Maja Włoszczowska (POL) 1:30,51 hours 2. Emily Batty (CAN) 1:31,00 3. Jolanda Neff (SUI) 1:31,21 22. Eva Lechner (Eppan) 1:36,46
