New: Three-day stage race in the Upper Engadine
The "Engadin Bike Giro" is a new bike event for non-professionals and professionals alike. The agency "Sauser Sport & Event Management GmbH" from Donaueschingen/Villingen-Schwenningen in Baden-Württemberg, which is already familiar with racing events, is in charge of implementing this project in Graubünden. Through the mountain bike stage race "Vaude Trans Schwarzwald" and the organization of other cycling projects, the brothers Rik and Kai Sauser contribute appropriate expertise and a wealth of experience.
With the "Engadin Bike Giro", the organizer wants to appeal primarily to recreational athletes. "We are sure that many well-known mountain bike professionals will also find their way to the beautiful Upper Engadine for this event and give the stage race an extra sporty touch," say the Sauser brothers full of confidence. Online registration will be possible from Friday, 30.10.2015.
