International Alb-Gold Trophy - 2
Münsingen, Germany, October 7, 2007
Genze and Schwing triumph
|
Hannes Genze (Team ALB Gold) and Katrin Schwing (RSC Neustadt) won the International Alb-Gold Trophy in radiant autumn weather. It was the last race of the year for some on German soil, so many racers were motivated to end the season on a high note. Especially those on Team ALB Gold, as their team's sponsor was also backing the race. The team did well with three of four top spots in the men's race and a second place in the women's race.
ALB Gold controlled the men's race from the start. One of the team's riders, Torsten Marx, was among those who intensified the pace early and helped to thin out the men's peloton. "After approximately 40 kilometers comes a quite steep short rise. There I tried it then and Hannes and I got away," said Marx. "At the mountain I could ride well, but on the last kilometers, it was then simply the faster person won." Marx finished second, 30 seconds behind Genze.
Urs Huber (Team-Stoeckli-Craft) finished third place ahead of Tim Böhme, another ALB Gold racer. The men covered the 100km race in a fast pace - over 30km per hour.

In the women's race Schwing (RSC Neustadt) and Gabi Stanger (Team ALB-GOLD Mountainbike) spent most of the day together off the front. Between Münsingen and Trochtelfingen, the two traded leads and put a large gap on chasers. The two were separated only by a one second gap with Schwing taking the win.
"I was not today really well... . Therefore the divided first place goes in order," said Stanger after the race. Kerstin Brachtendorf (Fiat Rotwild) finished third and rounded out the women's podium.
