3. Jeantex Tour Transalp 2005

From 26.06. - 02.07. 4 Eppaner took part in the 7-day crossing of the Alps by road bike, the Tour Transalp, which took place for the third time.
Seven long and hard mountain stages over the most beautiful but also most difficult passes of the Alps were conquered by 500 teams of 2. 785 kilometres, 18,810 metres in altitude and 17 passes, including the notorious Stilfser Joch, the Arlberg, Flüela and Albulapass, had to be mastered. In addition to the challenge of this demanding route from Oberammergau to Riva del Garda, it was also necessary to cope with heat, downpour and snow, tunnel passages and some potholes.

The participants arrived in Riva del Garda on 2 July, exhausted by the 20,000 metres of elevation and almost 800 kilometres they had covered, but also overjoyed at having reached their goal.

Richard Palma and Christian Sanco took 9th place in the Master category with a total time of 28h23min, which was enough for 26th place in the overall standings. Werner Weiss and Tamara Seipelt came 15th in the Mixed category (183rd overall) with 33h21min.
