More than 4000 at Dolomiti Superbike – a top-class field of participants

The South Tyrol Dolomiti Superbike on Saturday, July 7th, will once again be a mountain bike spectacle that is second to none. The world's best marathon mountain bikers will be there. More than 4000 bikers have already registered. The participants traditionally compete on two routes: the long distance is 2 kilometers and 119 meters in altitude, while the short distance is 3357 km and 59 meters in altitude.

The men's field of participants is top-class. World and European champions are not missing out on the race this time either. The favorites on Saturday include the reigning world champion Alban Lakata, but also the Russian Aleksei Medvedev and the Colombian Leonardo Paez. But also the “Azzurri” Mattia Longa, Cristiano Salerno and Tony Longo, Italian champion Juri Ragnoli, the Portuguese Tiago Ferreira, the 2012 marathon world champion Ilias Periklis from Greece, the Belgian Roel Paulissen who lives in Antholz and the South Tyrolean local hero Fabian Rabensteiner from Villandro want to play a good role.

The women's team includes Sally Bigham, the 2016 European champion. However, six months after the birth of her son, she is probably not in the shape to finish at the top. Also at the start for the women are Chiara Ciuffini, Elena Gaddoni, Italian champion Maria Cristina Nisi, and Greete Steinburg from Estonia, the newly crowned winner of the Dolomitica Brenta Bike. Katazina Sosna from Lithuania, last year's winner, and HERO winner Christine Kollmann-Forstner should also be on the bill.

In addition to the many professionals and amateur athletes, well-known personalities also take part in the race. The ski racer Manfred Mölgg, among others, has announced his start. Cadel Evans, a cycling legend, will also be at the start. The Tour de France winner and road bike world champion wants to prove once again at the age of 41 what he can do on two wheels ( SportNews reported ).
