World Cup Albstadt: Colledani surprises - Vitzthum cleverly in the top 15

In the second U23 World Cup race of the season, the Italian Nadir Colledani surprisingly triumphs. He wins in hot temperatures 35 seconds ahead of the German Georg Egger and 50 seconds ahead of the Canadian Peter Disera. Simon Vitzthum crossed the finish line in 14th place as the best Swiss

.

It is the Canadian Peter Disera who takes the lead. However, he is unable to maintain his lead of just under 20 seconds and is swallowed up by a larger chasing group. Georg Egger then attacks from there and only Nadir Colledani can follow. The duo increased their lead to over 30 seconds when Colledani proved his climbing skills and rode away from Egger. Behind them, Disera wins the finish for third place against the Italian Gioele Bertolini. Nove Mesto winner Petter Fagerhaug (NOR) suffers a rear wheel defect while riding in the chasing group and just manages to save his white leader's jersey with tenth place, two points ahead of Latvian Martins Blums, who finishes fifth on the day.

Filippo Colombo tries to keep up the pace at the start, but he can't stay in front. "I paid for the hot weather. I tried to find my pace, but it never went well. I always had to fight." Things went much better for Simon Vitzthum, who finished 14th, around three minutes behind. "My start was so-so. But then I was able to make up place after place," explains Vitzthum. "I realized that it's not necessarily good for me to fight for every position at the start. That's why I took it easy there and then worked my way forward. It was a great race for me."
