Alban Lakata (Topeak-Ergon) claims the victory of the Rocky Mountain BIKE Marathon near the German town of Willingen. The Austrian racer defeated Swiss mountainbiker Urs Huber (Stöckli Craft) and a Teams Bulls trio...
It was a tough marathon race in the German hills with 124 km and 3.600 metres altitude gain. At the start line-up approx. 1.800 participants show up.
The pace is set very high from the start by Alban Lakata and Urs Huber causing a leading group of these two and Tim Böhme (Team Bulls).

When passing the first feeding zone, the leading group already has two minutes lead on a chasing group with also two other Team Bulls-racers Thomas Dietsch and Stefan Sahm.
Tim Böhme has a hard time staying in the leading group and goes on and off with his fellow racers until halfway: "I'm pleased with my third position, because Urs and Alban were clearly stronger. With his offensive approach Alban really deserved the victory here.", said Tim.
