Max Brandl of Team Lexware Mountainbiking was able to win the U23 race of the Bundesliga Classic BiketheRock, Georg Egger finished 6th. Junior Rider David List just missed the Victory and finished second.

„I didn’t want to come in Second for the third time in a row“, Brandl commented his result after having won the finish over Milan Vader from the Netherlands. In the second lap, Brandl was some 15 seconds behind Vader and Jack Compton from New Zealand after a 1.2 kilometer Downhill. „I made two stupid mistakes and had to re-adjust my handle bar“ Brandl explained. But one lap later, Brandl was already back in touch with the leaders. And during the following 4,06 kilometer lap, the student from Freiburg attacked his opponents. Brandl: „I didn’t expect to really be able to escape, but I wanted to give it a try.“ On the rather flat part of the course, Vader and Brandl were reducing the pace, which allowed Wout Alleman to catch-up. Entering the final lap, Alleman did not succeed, when trying to escape. Brandl was more successful. He attakced just before the Downhill and reached the Singletrail first. „I wanted to be on the safe side and let nobody pass“, Brandl explained his thoughts. This worked out and the 19-year-old passed the finish line first in 1:12:16.
