Oberallgäu - The duo of the Allgäu Outlet Raceteam wins the “Senior Master Men” category at the “Dynafit Transalpine Run powered by Volkswagen R”.
After a week, the legendary stage race "Dynafit Transalpine Run powered by Volkswagen R" ended on Friday in Prad am Stilfserjoch.
The last of the planned eight stages was canceled by order of the local authorities, as the corona regulations in Italy were tightened.
The mid-term balance of the Allgäu participants in the 16th Dynafit Transalpine Run 2021 is impressive.
The leading Swiss teams defended their secure position “with the left”.
The Allgäu TAR athletes also remained largely constant in the ranking.
The "seniors" Thomas Miksch and Stefan Lang (Allgäu Outlet Raceteam) expanded their leadership in the Senior Master Men category from day to day.
Winners emerge early
In stage 4 alone - a mountain marathon over 42 kilometers - they were able to gain 23 minutes on the chasing team.
The "slip" in the mountain sprint of stage 5, where the two landed on rank 2, only cost 47 seconds.
The women's duo Stephanie Gil / Sonja Herbst (Laufsport Saukel by Dynafit) remained consistently in line on all stages in first place.
The sixth stage was on Thursday - the royal stage from Klosters to Scoul in the Engadin with 46.8 kilometers and 2,300 meters in altitude is a tough one.
Therefore, the start was early: the starting gun was fired at 7 a.m.
After a little over five hours, the first teams arrived in the center of Scoul.
The eighth stage around Prad was canceled due to stricter corona restrictions.
The TAR ended on Friday after the seventh stage in Prad am Stilfserjoch.
