Frozen meadow soil, many turns and a quite flat course had to be mastered “right through the stadium”. The weather presented itself in typical cross-country manner: -2 degrees, light snowfall and bitterly cold wind were not meant to stop 40 hardboiled athletes from starting in the 60-minute race.
At the last two starts in Cyclocross Felix was still bothered by bad luck and missed the connection to the top due to the bad starting position mostly already at the start, at the third attempt of this year’s cross-season things went much better. With a very good start, the jump from the fourth row of the starting line to the front of the field and thus the foundation for a solid performance. At the beginning with visual contact to second placed Tom Mayr the lead grew constantly and ended in a quite clear start-finish victory.
Next weekend Felix will start at the 3rd track O-Rama on December 15th and the following Sunday at the Wienenergie-Kraftwerk Querrennen in Freudenau. This is followed by a training phase before the Austrian State Championship in Cyclocross is the next goal in the new year.
