@lake.bike Enduro Finals & Nationals 2026 in Villach, Austria. Pretty demanding 1st EMTB race with my @centurionbikes NoPogo R3000 from @lakeside.bike with a 10th place is OK for me.
Nearly 42km in total, over 1400m elevation, 6 Downhill and one uphill stage, with pretty slippery conditions overall meant no small adventure! But we had some great fun with "Das hintere Drittel" pedaling from stage to stage!

With minimal training, due to managing the XCO race the day before, "some" shoulder injury earlier this year which prevented me from biking, and a crazy to unreal workload - I am happy that I survived with only 2 crashes. Surely, speed is another universe, but given the circumstances this is a personal victory!

I guess this might not be the last EMTB Enduro race I have participated in! Hungry for more - but then with a serious preparation!

Thanks for the support @sunnys1308 ❤️.
