22nd World Games of MTB in Saalbach (AUT)

11/9/2021

First season victory for Gregor Pinggera!

 

From September 9 to 12, 2021, amateur bikers and licensed riders competed for the titles of World Games Champions for the 22nd time.
The athletes gave their all on the five marathon distances of the legendary World Games course.

Among them was our junior racer Gregor Pinggera, who ventured out on the 31km long course with 967 meters of altitude difference.
And it went very well for him right from the start: starting well from the starting blocks, he was immediately able to join the leading group and keep up the pace.
Gregor crossed the first ascent to the Panorama Alm at 1,632m - the highest point of the race course - already lying in second place in the overall standings, and was able to defend this position until the finish. He also wins the category Youth Men (age group 2003-2005). Congratulations Gregor!
