TX Active - Bianchi achieved a new prestigious result in World Cup XCO, on Saturday, May 21st. After the striking victory in U23 series at Pietermaritzburg’s debut race, Italian Gerhard Kerschbaumer was been runner-up in the Dalby Forest (UK) stage, won by Alexander Gehbauer. Austrian rider outdistanced Kerschbaumer with 5 seconds and caught up with him on the UCI challenge’s top, 160 points both. Behind of Kerschbaumer, two German riders, Schulte-Luenzum and Bauer.
On the technical Yorkshire’s course, Felice Gimondi team’s talented rider was in the leading group right from the start, until he sprinted for success with Gehbauer, who found in last metres a better rush. Kerschaumer wanted to get the best features of the good result though: “I felt really fine, I’ve been for all the time in the front of the race and the difference between me and Gehbauer, today, was summed up in the final meters. We are both overall leader now but I’ll try to beat him again next week-end, in Offenburg, at World Cup XCO stage3”, Italian rider noticed after the race.
On Sunday, May 22nd, TX Active-Bianchi will look for further good results in Elite series with Stephane Tempier, Tony Longo and Cristian Cominelli.
