With start and finish in Graz, the tour roughly covered 1.000 kilometres and 18.000 altimeters, a distance Christoph usually covers non-stop. “This race was much more intense than a non-stop race! In an ultra marathon race I can set my own pace and focus on my very own performance. Here you have to watch your opponents and cover nearly every move. It’s attacking all the time and the pace on the climbs was incredibly high!” With the Soboth climb, the ascent up to Nassfeld, the Grossglockner and the Kitzbuehler Horn, the Sölkpass and last but not least the Klippitzthörl this event came as close to the Tour of Austria it can get. Mind that no pros were racing.
