Dolomiti Superbike - Villabassa, Italy, July 9, 2006
Paez and Suss take World Cup #3
Hector Leonardo Paez from Colombia won the third UCI MTB World Cup marathon at the Südtirol Dolomiti Superbike in Villabassa, Italy. The 24-year-old laid back the 119,9-kilometer long and 3,822-meters of total climbing course in four hours 52 minutes and 37 seconds. The Full Dynamix biker won with an advantage of six minutes and 25 seconds over Yader Zoli (KTM International) from Italy, who beat his teammate Mirko Pirazzoli (Salieri Arredo Quattro) in a sprint finish. Fourth to finish was the Olympic champion Bart Brentjens (Giant racing Team) from Holland (+7’.18“), fifth Thomas Dietsch (+7’.53“) from France.
Paez, who had already won the first World Cup race in Naoussa (Greece) goes back to the top of the UCI Marathon World Cup ranking. Alban Lakata from Austria, who had taken the lead after the second World Cup in Mount St. Anne, finished 26th with an arrear of 29 minutes and 32 seconds. Leonardo Paez leads the overall World Cup with 660 points.
Among the women the winner was the 32-year old Esther Süss (Ghost International Racing Team) from Switzerland, Küttingen in the canton Aargau, with a time of five hours, 47 minutes and 17 seconds. She was followed by her fellow countrywoman Daniela Louis from the canton Toggenburg (Team: Stöckli – Craft), who finished with an arrear of four minutes and two seconds.
Defeding Dolimito Superbike champion, Pia Sundstedt (Team Rocky Mountain Business Objects ), finished third at 6.53 back. Sundstedt will retain her lead in the ranking after three UCI marathon World Cups. She leads with 620 points followed by Daniela Louis (570 points) and Esther Süss (560), who overtook Anna Enocsson from Sweden (did not start in Vilabassa).
The course was counter-clockwise for the first time this year. In 2008 Villabassa/South Tyrol stages the World Championships. Over 3,000 riders from 29 nations took part in the 12th Südtirol Dolomiti Superbike.
