At the City Hill Climb everything remained the same on Saturday. Felix Gall also couldn’t defeat series winner Daniel Federspiel. The women’s winner literally made it to the finish line. You can find out more about this extremely strange scene in the video below.
It couldn’t be any crispier! This was also the case this year at the City Hill Climb, which took place yesterday parallel to the “Day of Sports” at Residenzplatz. 900 meters with gradients of up to 32 percent – climbing specialists and stage winners in the Tour de France like Austria’s top star Felix Gall also reached their limits. “The lungs are burning. It’s very demanding,” grinned the East Tyrolean, who was particularly pleased to see many children and young people along the route. “Maybe one or two of them will start cycling.” As on Thursday at the Old Town Criterion, the 25-year-old also had to settle for second place in the climbing show on the Salzburg landmark. The Tyrolean Daniel Federspiel put the 25-year-old in his place and also won the third edition. And praised the atmosphere. “You can’t drive slowly there.” Local hero won. Things were strange for the women. Belinda Holzer crashed in the last corner. But she quickly got up and ran across the finish line first, pushing her bike. Local hero Dominik Hödlmoser won the everyman classification. City Hill Climb: Men: 1. Federspiel (T), 2. Gall (T), 3. Knauer (D). – Women: 1. Holzer (T), 2. Fromberger, 3. Kastenhuber (both D).
