Ecco Benetton Sprint in Tristach/ Osttirol. 

Edgar  Köck and Michael Zanon started as a team in a top class field. You had to fight your inner temptation and even think about your team-mate, this what we had to solve and more than 110 others at the Ecco-Benetton-Mountain-Sprint-Relay-Event, from Tristach towards the Dolomite Hut. This event belongs to one of the strongest and top class races in the eastern part of Tirol and were organized this year for the 2nd time by the SV Dobernik Tristach.

 A team was made of two sports-men, the first one had to ride with his MTB from Tristach crossing the coasting slide up to the “ Kreithof”, when he reached it, he changed with his team-mate.



Than you had to sprint with your roadbike on the toll road towrds the Dolomite Hut. The racedemanded everything from the riders of 56 teams, while we had perfect weather conditions, the spectators cheered the athletes up the mountain.





The race was really fascinating, but at the end the strong team of “ Intersport Eybl Team “ won the race. And how about us Pirates, Michael Zanon on the MTB and Edgar Köck on the roadbike? Afterall we ended up on the 7th place overall. But at least we won with our jerseys and team dress, we were a real eye-catcher, this was the first race for us here in the eastern part of Tirol under the “ Jolly”. The next thing on our schedule is at the 17th of september, the 4men-time trial with 4 Pirates, and we heard, that they even expect, former bike pro´s, to participate at this race.



Greetings Micha
