Race 2 - July 15: Reith im Alpbachtal - Mayrhofen, 87.33km
Platt & Sahm repeat
Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm won their second stage in a row. The pros of Team Bulls finished in 4:01:30 hours with an average speed of 21.69 km/h for the 87.33km long course from Reith im Alpbachtal to Mayrhofen. Racers tackled 3,431 metres of climbing, making it one of the toughest stages of the race. Andreas Strobel and Silvio Wieltschnig of Team Fiat Rotwild took second in 4:05:08 with Alexander Pscheidl and Christian Schneidawind of Team Texpa-Simplon in third 4:17:46.
After two legs of eight, Platt & Sahm are 5'30" ahead of German-Austrian squad Fiat Rotwild. It didn't seem like the leaders would grow their gap until the final third of the stage. In Weerberg, right at the start of the last ascent, both teams were head-to-head. But during their way up to the Geiseljoch, the favorites upped the tempo continuously.
The performance impressed Sahm, whose right knee and elbow had to be sewn with two stitches each after yesterday's crash. "It was better than I expected. I did not have any problems with my knee. Only my elbow did hurt due to many tiny bumps on the almost 20 kilometres long last downhill. I barely was able to keep hold on my handlebar." Nevertheless, "We were able to keep up our rhythm, and the others had to let go. On the downhill, we also were faster."
A statement, which Wieltschnig confirmed, "Today, it was a very fast race. When Team Bulls accelerated up to the Geiseljoch, we didn't have a chance to follow anymore. At the peak, we were only about one minute behind, but we lost some more time down to Mayrhofen."
Klose twins take over women's lead
Sandra and Peggy Klose underlined why both won last year's Transalp. Team Zwillingscraft crossed the finish line in 5:09:01. Yesterday's fastest duo Fiat Rotwild-Damen, consisting of Kerstin Brachtendorf and Danièle Troesch, came in more than nine minutes later with a time of 5:18:38. Therefore, the twins were able to take over the lead of the German-French connection. Roesel/Landtwing of Team Haibike-Fujibike rounded out the podium in third (5:24:59).
"Yesterday, we had a bad malfunction at Peggy's bike and had to change it. Therefore, we lost about four minutes. Today, we were able to pedal on full speed," commentated Sandra Klose. She also knew why both sisters were able to gain such a big lead. "Fiat Rotwild is much better at climbing. We are stronger in the downhill sections and faster in the lowland regions."
Ekkehard Doerschlag and Heinz Zoerweg celebrated their second day's victory, too in the Master's category. Austria's Team KTM made it to Mayrhofen only 14 minutes later than the fastest duo (4:15:32) and therefore placed third in the overall ranking, too. Doerschlag, who was all smiles, said, "We are old but good. We not only want to defend our title but also try to keep up with the best teams." Like yesterday, Baerti Bucher and Renato Burch of Sponsor Sport Food (4:44:42) and Doug Brown and Shan Wilson of Adidas Williams Simpson (4:50:16) rounded out the masters podium.
Alison Sydor and Carsten Bresser continued where both stopped yesterday - by winning a stage. The Canadian-German Rocky Mountain/Haywood duo finished in 4:53:23. from Reith im Alpbachtal to Mayrhofen. Werner Fischer and Baerbel Jungmeier of Ciclopia Pro Team came in second (5:12:31) ahead of team Giant Foehnsturm consisting of Marcel Arnold and Margrit Joerg (5:25:24).
Walter Ehrler and Markus Gisler had the strongest senior master legs. After 5:24:47 hours, both Swiss bikers reached the finish. They were followed by yesterday's winners Ferdinand Ganser and Georg Niggl of Sport Team Buhler/Gat Kempten-goX (5:33:39) who were able to defend the Green Senior Master Leader Jersey. Norway's Terje Lund and Sigurd Roeggen of Ryegutta came in third (5:36:15).
