The Austrian
national championships had a clear favourite, not in the form of a rider but a team as
BORA - hansgrohe was the overwhelmingly strong lineup at the start however not even they would've expected the absolute dominance they have experienced in the race.
Out of the mere 12 riders that finished the race, five were from the German team, and all five riders arrived at the finish together in a separate group.
Felix Grossschartner crossed the line first in a show of power, in a group containing - by order -
Patrick Gamper, Lukas Postleberger,
Patrick Konrad and
Marco Haller who raced alongside him.
