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.
