Austrian victories at the UCI XCC C3 race

In the Elite women's race, Mona Mitterwallner prevailed in the final sprint. The Tyrolean narrowly beat Giada Specia (ITA) and Natalia Grzegorzewska (POL). The win in the Elite men's race also stayed red-white-red: Austrian national champion Maximilian Foidl triumphed ahead of Maks Alfred Barret Maunz (AUT) and Filip Holub from the Czech Republic.

Also on Saturday, the youth categories from U17 to U9 were contested. In the U17 men's race Leo Beer (RSV Atterbiker) won ahead of Dominik Duran (SVK) and Bálint Bencsik (HUN). In the U17 women's race Maria Riemer (AUT) prevailed ahead of Heléna Hegedűs (HUN) and Martina Marázová (SVK). In the U9 to U15 classes, around 100 children and young people in total took the start.
The race day on Sunday began at 09:00 with the amateur, masters and mass-participation (Jedermann) events. Among the amateurs Philipp Heigl won, while Hannes Silberbauer from URC Langenlois was able to celebrate third place. In the Masters men category Andreas Dollinger prevailed.

Elite Women: Mitterwallner celebrates third victory in Langenlois

The first big highlight of the day began at 13:10 with the Elite Women’s race. After the start lap there were four large laps on the Heiligenstein. Mona Mitterwallner (MONDRAKER FACTORY RACING XC) pulled away from the field already in the first lap and won after 01:24:45 hours convincingly — as she had the day before — ahead of Giada Specia (ITA) and Natalia Grzegorzewska (POL). With this, Mitterwallner celebrated her third victory at the KTM Kamptal Trophy, after 2021 and 2022.
In the winner’s interview she expressed gratitude: she had wanted to test where she stood after a long training block. A win is never a given, and she is therefore happy about her victory in Langenlois. Up next for her are road races as well as preparation for the MTB World Cups in Nove Mesto.

Elite Men: Foidl wins thrilling duel against Bair

The Elite men's race started at 3:00 PM. From the start, an exciting duel developed between national champion Maximilian Foidl (KTM Factory MTB Team) and Mario Bair (Cabtech Racing Team), the winner of the last two editions.
For five laps the two rode almost together. Foidl showed his strength on the descents, while Bair was repeatedly able to close the gap on the climbs. In the final lap Bair tried to attack before the final descent, but couldn't get past. Foidl used the technical section and won after 01:25:50 hours with a two-second lead. Julius Scherrer completed the podium, making it another Austrian on the podium.
In the winner's interview Foidl stressed how difficult the race against Bair had been. A season opener with a win — and in Austria at that — meant a lot to him.
The weather was cold and demanding on both days. Wind and low temperatures pushed all competitors to their limits — yet the 34th KTM Kamptal Trophy once again offered high-class mountain bike racing and strong performances in all categories.
