French cheers in the Munich rain

Lecomte coped excellently with the route, which was located directly in the Olympic Park in Munich: in sometimes heavy rain and lots of mud, she showed a strong performance and ultimately celebrated the European Championship victory after 1:28 hours, 37 seconds ahead of her compatriot Pauline Ferrand Prevot. The gap between third-placed Dutchwoman Anne Terspstra and the victorious Frenchwoman was already 3.08 minutes. The Swiss co-favorite Jolanda Neff missed out on a medal in 4th place (+3.33 minutes). Lecomte and Ferrand Prevot quickly separated themselves from the rest of the field in constant rain and a slippery course. On the 3rd of 7 laps, Ferrand-Prevot took the lead. After a chain defect - also in the 3rd lap - she lost a total of around a minute. Lecomte passed her compatriot and did not relinquish the lead. Seiwald is having a hard time Martina Berta ended up as the best Azzurra in 10th place (+5.45). For Greta Seiwald from Casies, the race didn't go as planned. She had a hard time on the slippery course from the start and fell far behind early on. In the third lap, the 3-year-old South Tyrolean finally fell and had to give up. Of the 25 starters, only 46 ultimately made it to the finish line. Seiwald was the only mountain biker from South Tyrol who took part in the European Championships. Eva Lechner was not nominated. The men's cross-country race took place yesterday, Friday. Here too there was little to gain for the South Tyrolean starter, Gerhard Kerschbaumer. “Gery” didn’t get past 27th place and was disappointed. The results at a glance Pos Name Country Time 1.
