Great Team Vorarlberg performance among the world’s best at the 74th GP Lugano UCI 1.1 – Wildauer 10th, Thalmann 15th!

 

Was that a Team Vorarlberg fireworks today at Lake Lugano in the Swiss Ticino at the 74th staging of the Int. GP Lugano over 180 kilometers!

 

Moreno, Guerin, Wildauer u. Thalmann are battling with the world’s best!

First it is Adria Moreno who takes the mountain points in the leading group. When this group is put back, Alexis Guerin attacks with Fabio Aru (ITA / Team Quebeka). But also this attack came too early.

In the final of the race a new Team Vorarlberg jersey flashes up in the TV broadcast. Markus Wildauer, the young Austrian, attacks in the final and is able to get into the chasing group around Diego Ulissi (ITA / UAE Emirates).

 

Moscon ahead of Conti and Hermanns – Wildauer in 10th place, Thalmann 15th!

Gianni Moscon (ITA / Ineos) takes the victory from a group of four ahead of Valerio Conti (ITA / UAE Emirates). Third Ben Hermanns (BEL / Israel Startup Nation).

Wildauer shows himself unimpressed by the big names around him. He then attacks himself in the last lap. His strength is enough for tenth place today. Behind him in 15th place is Roland Thalmann, the next “Team Vorarlberg-Pro“.

“That was a hammer-strong action what all the guys have conjured here today. As one of the few Continental teams, we were able to set real accents today and also stand up to the big teams. Wildauer has shown what he is capable of when everything fits. Now we have to build on this already at the next top occupied tour in Romania at the Sibiu Tour!” Werner Salmen – sporting director
