Leogang 的 World Cup XCO 处女秀
3 分钟 XCO track explanation with Laura Stigger Local star Laura Stigger takes us through the new cross-country course for the 2021 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Leogang.
Leogang 位在奥地利的阿尔卑斯山区,赛道路线以艰难、漫长而陡峭的爬坡著称。一些车手在 2020 年世锦赛(World Championship)体验到这条赛道,但这是 Leogang 首次举办 World Cup 的 XCO 赛事。奥地利站赛道与前两站捷克及德国的呈现截然不同风格,加上开赛前因气候关系,导致赛道非常湿滑,几位好手因此受伤无法出赛,但正式比赛日当天的多风且阳光明媚,让原先湿滑的赛道变得较干。

小将Vlad Dascălu 转入职业最漂亮的一战 来自罗马尼亚的 Vlad Dascălu在U23层级赛事,接连拿下世界冠军和 U23 World Cup 总冠军,不过在进入精英级别后,需要时间及经验,让他的潜力化为实力。

今天的努力获得了回报! 人生第一次在World Cup的精英组站上颁奖台,超级感谢所有一直相信我,并且持续帮助我做到最好的人们! Dascălu在第一圈仅排名第17,不过他沉着应战,并且逐渐超车前方选手,最后取得第五名成绩,车涯首度在精英组别站上颁奖台。

今年前三站,女子组就看法国好手Loana Lecomte,从第一站的第一圈开始,Loana Lecomte 的前方根本没有对手,截自第三站结束,Loana Lecomte 在每一圈都是取得领先的状态。

Lecomte 的神人级表现,完全没有其他选手可以匹敌,完全海放各路好手,让她持续在积分榜取得领先。

噪音、欢呼声等声音,让比赛现场的气氛高潮不断。随着欧洲逐渐解封,奥地利站开放给有限的车迷们入场,赛后地主选手Laura Stigger 直言,欢呼声回归赛场,并且有观众来到现场参与,真的非常棒,家乡很多人都特别来现场为我加油,给我很大的动力。

年轻好手 Mathieu Van der Poel 与 Tom Pidcock 确定缺席第三站,让 Nino Schurter 很有机会追上Julien Absalon 所保持的33座 World Cup冠军纪录,而且Nino更在本周换上全新战驹 Scott Spark RC bike,似乎准备干大事、赢冠军。

拿下第10名出乎我的意料,我现在需要耐心,并且相信我的能力,至少我现仍保有一定的竞争力。 结果来自瑞士的至尊Nino,首先在XCC仅取得第29名,这意味着他的出发排位在第四排,虽然Nino积极抢攻,不过前方太多「龟速车」挡道,也影响他的表现, 让他无法有效追近领先者,最终以第10名的成绩完赛,不过好消息是,Nino 在第三站的最快速圈,是出现在最后一圈,证明他的体能状况仍还有一定水平。
如前所述,奥地利站的路线特点是爬坡,可能是World Cup赛场上最长的爬坡路线,其技术含量相对较低,很适合耐力佳的选手。像是捷克Ondřej Cink 即是最明显的例子,曾经参与公路车赛的他,很适合奥地利站的路线,另外Mathias Flückiger 也有相同特质。

开赛后Ondřej Cink 和 Mathias Flückiger 两名好手就跑在前头,虽然Anton Cooper也一同身处领先集团,不过他很快就被甩开,而Ondřej Cink 和 Mathias Flückiger 两人纠缠到倒数第二圈,Flückiger 发动一波攻击把差距拉开,最后率先抵达终点摘冠。
