Two-time Erzberg rodeo winner wants to get a taste of racing air as celebrity guest
At tomorrow’s World Cup premiere of the Enduro and E-Enduro riders in Leogang, fans can look forward to a prominent and extremely successful starter from a different discipline. Freshly minted Erzberg rodeo champion Manuel Lettenbichler is switching from the trial bike and the toughest extreme enduro race to the mountain bike and will tackle the E-Enduro competition. All fans who want to get to know Letti personally have the chance to meet the sports star throughout the whole weekend in the large team and expo area at the foot of the Leoganger Asitz.
Enduro is the mountain bike equivalent of an autorallye - each rider has to complete several stages in one day. The times of all individual stages are measured, added up and the shortest total time wins! At the UCI Mountainbike World Cup in Leogang, the enduro route leads from the start area at the EPIC Bikepark Leogang to Saalbach Hinterglemm, where three stages must be completed. After that, the riders return to Leogang to fight for the top spots in three more stages. The crowning of the first Enduro World Cup winner in Leogang will then take place at the end of the day in the exciting super final at the EPIC Bikepark.
