Cycling: Due to a severe cold with sinusitis, Christoph Strasser had to cancel the 24-hour track world record attempt scheduled for mid-October. The Austrian extreme athlete is now healthy again and ready for a new challenge: the 24-hour world championship on November 4th and 5th in California
With the start in the 24-hour world championship in the individual time trial, Christoph Strasser still has an important race on the program for the 2016 season. For the Austrian, however, the event in California should represent more than just a replacement for the canceled 24-hour track world record attempt. The conditions in California are tough, so they play into the hands of the Race Around Austria winner. At the start on November 4th at 18.00:25 p.m. it is already dark and Strasser will have to complete more than half of the race in the dark. The participants in the race can look forward to 10 degrees during the day, at night the temperatures drop to a fresh 29 degrees. The course in Borrego Springs has a length of 18.00 kilometers and there are no major climbs. On the following day at XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. it is certain: who has completed the most laps?
The strongest opponent at the 24-hour world championships in California will be Marko Baloh from Slovenia, whose 24-hour track world record the Austrian wanted to break in mid-October.
