Näf and Kalentieva win World Cup warm up
Wengelin fastest among Under 23s
 |
Ralph Näf and Irina Kalentieva won the 23rd Mountain Bike Spring Classic in Münsingen, Germany on Sunday while Matthias Wengelin beat the rest of the Under 23s
The German season opener in Münsingen, one week before the Offenburg World Cup, drew a top field and a big crowd. Both the men's and women's winner of the previous weekend's World Cup in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, were on hand.
A four-man lead group formed when Marco Aurelio Fontana had a crash in the first lap and Jose Antonio Hermida also found himself at the back and in trouble. Ralph Näf (Multivan-Merida), Martin Gujan (Cannondale), Moritz Milatz (Multivan-Merida) and his teammate Jochen Käss got away.
Fontana was in fourth when he crashed near the finish line on the opening lap. "I jumped over a rock section and crashed in the landing. My bar was turned up because I landed on the right bar end. In the next laps, I realized it must have broken and it came totally loose on lap six, and I could not finish the race. That's bad luck because my legs were really good," Fontana said from the sidelines.
Näf, after skipping the World Cup due to illness, was the strongest and Gujan overdid it by trying to follow him. Gujan suffered cramps and Milatz and Käss passed him to create an all-Merida team break.

"My team trusted me after being sick and this is my thank you to them," Näf said after what was his second win in Münsingen. He also won this race in 2007.
Milatz took second while Käss finished third. Gujan was fourth. Frenchman Julien Absalon (Orbea) was sick after his South Africa trip and therefore did not compete for the win, but he still battled Hermida for fifth place.
The women's competition was not decided until the last lap. Irina Kalentieva (Topeak-Ergon) and Elisabeth Osl (central GHOST Pro Team) stayed off the front for much of the race together. On the last climb, Kalentieva attacked and took her first win at German spring classics.
"Finally I got the victory after some second and third places here. It's something special to win here," said Kalentieva after her win despite a crash in the first lap.

World cup winner Osl was okay with her second place. "I knew she would come. But I'm very optimistic for Offenburg World Cup next sunday," Osl said.
Osl's teammate Sabine Spitz showed an improvement in her performance and took third place ahead of Adelheid Morath (Rothaus-Cube) and Mary McConneloug (Kenda Seven Cycles).
"The result and also how I'm feeling is making me more confident for Offenburg," said Spitz, who's form has been slow in coming this season.
 |
In the Under 23 men's competition, more than 100 riders out of ten nations supported the UCI categorized event. Matthias Wengelin (Swedish National Team) took the win with a long solo ride. Josef Kamler (Ceska Sporitelna) came in as second, just ahead of Lukas Kaufmann (Rothaus-Cube).
"I felt very good, and I had a lot of fun riding through the bike park," Wengelin said.
The Mountainbike Spring Classic in Münsingen is the oldest mountain bike race in Germany. It was the 23rd consecutive edition. More than 1,200 competitors from 18 nations joined the event.
In a warm-up to the cross country, a sprint race held Saturday, Ralph Näf and Alexandra Engen (Swedish National Team) won. Näf beat Hermida and Milatz while Alexandra Engen (Swedish National Team) defeated Claudia Seidel (Ghost) and Ines Thoma (SKS-MiG)
