Next victory: Kerschbaumer is unstoppable

Kerschbaumer, who celebrated his first World Cup victory in Andorra in mid-July and thus his greatest career success, was unbeatable on the 47-kilometer route from Auer to Molina di Fiemme in the Fiemme Valley and triumphed ahead of his South Tyrolean colleague Fabian Rabensteiner. Rabensteiner, who won this race last year, finished 1,30 minutes behind. Third place went to the Russian Alexei Medvedev, who lost two minutes to the winner.

So Kerschbaumer is in the form of his life: At the beginning of July he finished second on the podium at the Cross Country World Cup in Val di Sole, a week later he took his first World Cup victory in Andorra, and just a few days later he was named cross country. Country Italian champion. With his triumph in the marathon classic “La Vecia Ferovia”, the 27-year-old has once again gained a lot of self-confidence for the World Cup in Mont-Saint-Anne (Canada), which is coming up next week.

Greta Seiwald shows the women In the women's race, Greta Seiwald, another mountain bike ace from South Tyrol, came out trumps: She took third place, beaten only by Maria Cristina Nisi and Ellena Gaddoni. Seiwald was unable to intervene in the fight for victory (six minutes behind the winner Nisi), but she confidently secured bronze place.

Over the short distance (36 kilometers) there was a South Tyrolean triple success: Georg Baumgartner beat Urban Winkler and Alexander Perathoner. Results men: Pos Name Time 1.
