From June 15th to 18th, Kitzbühel invited to the ETU Triathlon European Championship. Top-athlete Tom Thalhammer took part in it.

Already in 2014 he finished in fourth place over the sprint-distance. This time, his goal was to overcome the olmypic distance.

At the first discipline, swimming, Tom placed third.

Equipped with the aerodynamic ChaseUp carbon-wheels he went into the cycling track, where the athlete could save himself the first place for a short amount of time.

During running the triathlete had some health problems and was forced to pause.

Despite the loss of time Tom Thalhammer finished in excellent 7th position.

The Wienerwald Cup is a very famous time trial racing series, which consists of five single races, all organized by Radclub Mödling.

It’s a perfect opportunity for everyone who loves cycling to demonstrate one’s skills.

The Wienerwald is especially favoured by bikers, because of its beauty and straightforwardness. The Roads are fairly diversified, apart from many plane sections you will also have to overbear several elevation gains.

The bikers started on April 28th at 6:30pm in Gainfarn.

The time trial races have been the perfect opportunity to test our ChaseUP wheels for stability. We can gladly report that they have been a proven success!

Felix Schneider and Bernhard Weis lined up for the Leithaberg cycling marathon on June 4th for team Chase in category  “120km men elite”. They performed 3 rounds with each 40km in length. They also had to face several short and long elevation gains.

The event started at 9:14 a.m. for those who chose to cycle 120km.

The bikers had to cope with extremely high temperatures. Therefore, their top priority was to optimally use their strengths and constantly keep an eye on their fluid balance.

The race has been additionally complicated by the tough wind conditions, which are mostly typical for Burgenland.

Just two weeks after his comeback at the “Velo Vertical Vienne 2017” Felix Ritzinger vigorously participated in a training camp in Vinschgau.

Due to a longer training break, Felix could unfortunately not train as hard as he did in the past.

Distance: 600km  Elevation gains: 15000m

These are numbers, which are definitely feared by most athletes. Nevertheless, Felix was on to every dodge and easily survived all 5 days of the camp.

However, you would not expect anything else from top athletes with ChaseUp equipment.

On the 27th of May Bernhard Weis participated in the Linz triathlon and could fortunately improve his personal 1,9/90/21km distance record.

He had a great start in the swim, it only took him 30 minutes to achieve the first target.

His aerodynamic bicycle enabled him to drive 36km/h on average. In only 2 hours 35 minutes he could easily finish the 90km.

Probably the hardest part of the triathlon, the run, turned into an heated battle due to the hot temperatures the bikers had to cope with.

Therefore, their top-priority was to permanently keep an eye on their fluid and energy balance.

At the end of the day, special thanks to Lukas Steinbichlers and Philipp Gahs cheering, Bernard Weis reached the finish line in 05:04:46 h.

Felix Ritzinger celebrated his official comeback from his shoulder injury in February on Mai 14th at the Velo Vertical Vienne 2017. Only the one who passes all 17 elevations in the shortest possible time will win the competition.

It was the first intense stress since months and one could possibly think that there certainly will be a clear performance deficit.

Felix was perfectly equipped with the ChaseUp rim for his comeback.

With 12 minutes lead he had the perfect start in the oncoming biking season.

Winner of the day: Felix Ritzinger! He passed all 17 stages in 1:27:56.

At the beginning of the cycling season 2016 a new racing series was launched. The Vienna Bahn-O-Rama is organised by individuals for enthusiastic cyclists.

Already at the fourth holding of the event a biker started for Chase.

There were several different race sessions.

Last Friday, on January 20th, the drivers have been divided in 2 separate groups, a fast group and rather slower one.

Subsequently, the two groups started in a 30- respectively 60-round Snowballcompetition.

In this special race session the drivers sprint every 10th round for points.

The special feature of the Snowballcompetition is that every 10th round the amount of points continuously increases, which means you will get the most points in the 50th and 60th round.

The organizers of the Vienna Bahn-O-Rama are providing an event with a familial atmosphere, ambitious race characteristics and loads of enthuasiasm.

Even race-newbies will have fun.
