TransAlp 2007 - NE
Germany - Italy, July 14-21, 2007
Race 1 - July 14: Mittenwald - Reith im Alpbachtal, 84.67km
Favorites Platt & Sahm take home first stage victory
In stage 1, favorites Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm underlined why they are top picks for the TransAlp race. Despite Sahm's on the last descent, Team Bulls secured the victory with a time of 3:13:19 hours. The German-Austrian duo Andreas Strobel and Silvio Wieltschnig of team Fiat Rotwild finished second (3:15:19) followed by Alexander Pscheidl and Christian Schneidawind of Team Texpa-Simplon (3:21:03).
Even Platt had not reckoned that Team Bulls would handle the 84.67 kilometres and 2,128 metres of elevation gain in such a short time facing very high temperatures. "I thought that it would be quite an easy start but right at the first ascent, the whole field pedalled nervously. Andi Strobel was pushing it pretty much," said Platt. No wonder that the favourites had to accept that Team Fiat Rotwild went off. But after the first descent they were back in the game and raced away due to a flat tyre Wieltschnig had to deal with.
Strobel said, "We weren't able to catch up any more. Although we were only 1.5 minutes behind them at the Plumserjoch, there was no chance at all. Both are too strong in the lowlands."
In the end, Platt and Sahm crossed the finish line with an average speed of 26.28 km/h. Sahm crash cost him injuries at the right arm and knee. "I guess Stefan came down too fast on asphalt right before we entered the gravel road. I braked in front of hairpin bend and I think he could not do so anymore and crashed," said Platt.
Tight battle grips women's race
Two women's teams were responsible for the closest finish of the day. Team Fiat Rotwild-Damen made it into the finish with a lead of only six seconds on title defending duo Zwillingscraft. Kerstin Brachtendorf and Danièle Troesch finished in 3:58:37 ahead of Sandra and Peggy Klose (3:58:43). With a gap of more than 20 minutes, Kirsten Roesel and Milena Landtwing of Team Haibike-Fujibike rolled into the finish (4:20:23).
The near photo finish was not expected earlier in the race. The German-French connection was ahead of the twins by several minutes at the second food station. "We lost a lot of time in the lowlands. We weren't able to find a good group to roll with," explained Brachtendorf of the shrinking lead. "I'm just glad that it went so well today after I had to give up at the Trans Germany. I wanted to find out where I'm right now," said the 29 year-old about her comeback.
Ekkehard Doerschlag and Heinz Zoerweg of Team KTM have shown they can be counted on by finishing first in the masters category in 3:27:42. "It was hot but good. We were hoping that we would be able to fulfil the expectations. This worked out because Heinz raced super good. He is a real tractor," said Doerschlag after the race. Baerti Bucher and Renato Burch of team Sponsor Sport Food came in second in 3:36:59, and Adidas William Simpson, consisting of Doug Brown and Shan Wilson, finished in 3:37:06 to round out the podium.
Like at the Trans Germany, the Canadian-German duo Alison Sydor and Carsten Bresser dominated the mixed classification. The Olympic silver medallist and her partner on the Rocky Mountain/Haywood team managed the course in 3:37:05. Hebert Bryant and Kelly Servinski of team Walter finished second in 3:56:31 and third place was Peak Mtb Team A with Eelco Docter and Anthony Allan (4:01:16).
Sport Team Buhler/Gat Kempten-goX took the lead in the senior master classification. Ferdinand Ganser and Georg Niggl made it to Reith im Alpbachtal in a time of 3:58:19 hours. Second were Terje Lund and Sigurd Roeggen of Ryegutta (4:08:51). The D'Uerner Oldies Walter Ehrler and Markus Gisler placed third (4:09:55).
