A double at the traditional one day race Wien-Laßnitzhöhe gave TEAM ELK Haus a
lot of self-confidence for the upcoming races in Germany.
The last weekend could not have been much better for Team ELK Haus. With the win by
Markus Eibegger and a second place finish by Matthias Brändle at the Austrian one day race
'Wien-Laßnitzhöhe, the team took the lead in the Tchibo Top.Rad.Liga-classification.
"We had a good race" says teammanager Bernhard Rassinger whose team will travel to
Germany with a lot of self-confidence. First, the team will take part in the Bayern-
Rundfahrt (May 26-30), where the ELK Haus-boys won the mountain jersey with
Thomas Rohregger in 2008. "I hope that we can do as well as last year" comments Rassinger.
Directly after the Bayern-Rundfahrt the team will participate in the Neuseen Classics (June 1) where ELK Haus-rider Steffen Radochla celebrated a victory in 2008. "It would be great to win again" says the teammanager. Radochla, who fully recovered from his injuries after a crash in Turkey, will be the teamleader.
ELK Haus riders for the races in Germany:
Steffen Radochla, Markus Eibegger, Stefan Denifl, Harald Totschnig, Gerhard Trampusch, Clemens Fankhauser, and Martin Schöffmann.
