Now in Tokyo: Clear the stage for Gerhard Kerschbaumer

He has already proven several times that Kerschbaumer can have a say in the top places - including his greatest success to date when he won World Championship silver in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, in 2018. This season hasn’t been going well for “Gery” so far. In the 4 World Cup races, 14th place is the best result. However, at the “Internazionali d'Italia”, a strong international race in Casies at the beginning of June, he made people sit up and take notice with a victory. When it starts today at 8 a.m., Kerschbaumer wants to have a say in the top spots. A technically difficult route with some extremely steep climbs awaits him. At the 2019 Olympic dress rehearsal he took 6th place. But this time he is not one of the favorites. The route is likely to be quite dusty and therefore slippery. A total of 38 drivers will be at the start. The Dutchman Mathieu Van der Poel is considered the top favorite. The Brit Thomas Pidcock is also very popular with bookmakers. Other favorites are the Swiss Mathias Flückiger and Nino Schurter, who is starting as defending champion. The extended circle of favorites also includes the Brazilian Henrique Avancini and the Frenchman Jordan Sarrou. Live results and much more are available in the Olympia Center. The Bolzano swimmer Stefano Ballo was already in action on Monday. The detailed report can be found here. Volleyball player Simone Giannelli has to take a break from the Azzurri's second group game on Monday due to muscular problems. Triathlete Verena Steinhauser is at the start in the evening. An overview can be found here.
