Team Vorarlberg without captain Colin Stüssi

13 juni 2024 –

Team Vorarlberg without captain Colin Stüssi for the 15th Int. Oberösterreich Rundfahrt – New tactics – new luck!

That was not good news yesterday on the day of departure to Linz for the four-day tour over 490 kilometers. Colin Stüssi, who recently finished 18th in the GP of the Canton of Aargau, had to withdraw with flu symptoms. A great pity, as Colin was expected to have a chance in the overall classification.

Now more than ever!

Pirmin Benz was nominated as a replacement rider. The leader positions will now be redistributed, opening up new opportunities for Lukas Meiler, Jannis Peter, Moran Vermeulen, Alexander Konychev and Dominik Amann. As always, the decision will be made on Sunday on the tough climb up the Hinterstoder Höss.

The 700 meter long prologue will take place late tonight as a mountain sprint in Linz. The starting field is very strong with over 20 teams from many nations.
