Mountainbike Marathon Pöllau

At the MTB Marathon through the Pöllauertal Nature Park, Chase team rider Manfred started on the 75 kilometre classic distance. Right from the start, he was able to keep up with the enormously high pace of the overall Challenge leader Wolfgang Krenn. This pace was a bit too fast for Manfred, but he fought audaciously and bit his way into the rear wheel of his competitor. After two hours of racing, however, he was presented with the bill for his “stalling”. He lost a lot of time and when shortly before the finish line there was still competition from behind he could not oppose anything. In the end, he still managed to secure third place in the class.
