Already after 8 kilometres a 3-man leading group was built including Peter Presslauer. On the climb to the Auerberg Peter Presslauer and Christian Brockhoff were able to increase their advantage and rode home to the victory.

"The last 1000 metres were grassland and I wasn't able to follow Brockhoffs final attack" said the road race specialist in the interview.  "I'm very satisfied with my corratec Revolution, very stiff frame and very precise to control.“
