(GOOGLE TRANSLATE)After the victory of Thomas Diestch in the proof of Marathon World Series September 28 (link), 2 days after he took off the 6-day stage race called the Langkawi International MTB Challenge , stage race, class 1 with a rich jackpot . At the start of many famous athletes and strong runners who have preferred to stop after taking part in the trial of the Marathon on Saturday.
It began with a prologue where the strong cross countrista Marotte Maxime (BH Suntour ) got the better of Nicola Rohrbach ( Goldwirst Stockli ) of a second. Third place went to the specialist Emil Lindgren (Giant ) . Among women Lechner Eva is the best inflicting already discrete gaps related to the effort very short but in the next stages will count the minutes , no more than the latter, then we will have to be careful Lea Davison ( 2nd place) and Maja Wloszczowska ( 4 place) . Third place went to her teammate Nathalie Schneitter .
The first stage is a marathon of 65km very fast runners that led to complete it just above the 2 hour race . The winner was Lindgren Emil (Giant ) in a beautiful battle with Maxime Marotte ( which keeps the leader's jersey ) and Kohei Yamamoto (Specialized ) , who seems to be in good shape. Among women Maja Wlosczowska and Lea Davison can make a difference by disconnecting all the enemy but a path failure - 5km to the door cutting loose the finish line ... at the end stage , the jury will blame the organization and assign , to 2 athletes , the same time the 1st group arrived. After this oversight , the victory goes to Morath Adelheid ( Haibike ) that exceeds in the sprint Eva Lechner (which maintains its leadership ) and Blaza Klemencic .
The second stage has a very ritch XC win and sees a specialist, namely Giger Fabian (Giant ) in front of Lindgren ( teammate Giger) and Hynek , trailing by as much 2'30 " . Among women Lea Davison excels in sprint of Maja Wlosczowska while Eva Lechner is the victim of a bad day and lost the leader's jersey getting to the finish line with 9'38 "behind .
The third stage has a fraction where the tough Specialized Racing XC is enhanced with Yamamoto Kohei and Lea Davison. Marzio Deho ( 1 master) and Emil Lindgren have called it a stage of cycle -touring with many ascents and descents walking among the rocks very slippery at the limit of viability . Among men great test of Yamamoto that proves to be a good athlete when ground conditions are heavy , pulling all going to rip the leader's jersey to Emil Lindgren with 2 ' advantage. Second stage place for Nicola Rohrbach and third Stephane Tempiere (BH Suntour ) . Among women Lea Davison makes the difference and went on to win solo with a great performance in front of Eva Lechner of separated 4'11 " . Third Wlosczowska to 7'09 " .
The 4th stage sees the leaders keep their shirts (Yamamoto and Davison) while the stage victories go to Maxime Marotte (with BH - Suntour - KMC overlooking thanks to 2nd place by Stephane Tempier ) and Eva Lechner, who exploit a XC trail with short climbs and lots of raises, unlike the previous days where the distances were much higher.
The 5th and final stage sees the victory of Fabian Giger and Maja Wlosczowska , both of Giant Pro XC Team. In general does not change anything since the leg short and fast with the duo Specialized Team that wins thanks to Kohei Yamamoto and Lea Davison.
