MTB European Championships 2003 in Graz (AUT)

23/8/2003

The title fights took place on Graz's local mountain Schöckl on 23 August (Austria).
Dynamic biker Eva Lechner, who as European runner-up had a real chance of winning in the junior class, was there. After a somewhat unsuccessful start, the Eppan native was able to make up around 9 positions, but the chase to catch up proved to be very energy-sapping and overtaking was only possible outside the ideal lane on the winding and narrow single trails. Nevertheless, Eva was able to finish the race in a good 4th place, around 2 minutes behind.
