World Cup XCO: Tempier close to Top-10
After Gerhard Kerschbaumer’s great performance in the World Cup debut race in Pietermaritzburg (South Africa), runner-up in U23 series, TX Active-Bianchi was again in the spotlights in the Elite race, at World Cup XCO stage-2 in Dalby Forest (UK), on Sunday, May 22nd. French Stephane Tempier was leading the race a long time until giving up in last two laps: on the finish line, he was 11th (in South Africa, he had placed 8th).

No glory for Tony Longo and Cristian Cominelli. Italian riders crossed the finish line faraway from the top positions. Longo closed his race falling off, whilst Cominelli – at his World Cup’s seasonal debut – recovered many positions in last laps. On Saturday-Sunday, May 28th-29th, TX Active-Bianchi team will run in the World Cup XCO stage3 in Offenburg (Germany), where Kerschbaumer looks forward a revenge on Austrian Gehbauer, winner of Dalby Forest’s race and overall U23 leader together with Italian rider himself.
