On a glorious sunny day 3.017 bikers were joining the 10th anniversary of the Salzkammergut MTB Trophy. And a thrilled Gary Fisher in the middle - finishing the 109 kilometer distance as 14th in his age group.

On the 209 km extreme distance Tomáš Trunschka became the first Czech winner. From the very beginning he made it pretty clear that he wanted to carry off the Jubilee Trophy and after 10 hours and 16 minutes he crossed the finishing line in Bad Goisern. Runner-up was local hero and last years' winner Stefan Kogler (Team Radsport Angerer) from St. Gilgen at the Wolfgangsee. About 12 minutes behind came in Stefan Danowski (Trenga De Team), who continues his success series at the Salzkammergut Trophy.

Anita Wais (ARBÖ Merida Polizei Wien) last years' runner-up wins the race with 13:50:18 in the brutal heat of Bad Goisern. Second came in Doris Steenfatt (Team Diamondback) ahead of Hedvig Nagy from Hungray.

The 109,7 km distance became a most spectacular one! After two race hours the five bikers of the top group were only 12 seconds apart and extending their lead more than six minutes over their followers. Not until the very end Michael Binder was able to break away (4:44:30) making Thomas Nicke runner-up (4:46:05). On the 109,7 km course the fastest among the women was Manuela Grünzweil (06:16:22) ahead of O'Connor Jennifer from New Zealand.

The originator of all mountain bike sports was biking an emotional roller coaster. "I think I die" - so Gary Fisher referring to the exertions of the race "but now I´m very happy - a great event" - well one can hardly beat such a great compliment to the Trophy.

The fastest biker of the day - the Junior biker Günter Pernkopf (Team DT Swiss Merida Continental) from Bad Goisern wins the short distance by a nose before Paralympic Vize-Europe Champion (individual time trial 2005) Manfred Gattringer.

The winner of the Paralympic Handicap Rating is the double Paralympics gold medal winner Michael Teuber from Germany, who gets according to the IPC Categorie LC3/LC4 ten minutes credit. Yvonne Marzinke from BSV/RSV Übersee wins the IPC rating of the women.

Seven unicyclists were on the start of the first Salzkammergut "Muni" Trophy. For many specators it was a safe bet that none of them would reach the finishing line. Well Martin Reidlinger from Neumarkt not only managed to see the finishing line he also was the fastest in only 2:11:11 on the 23,7 km course leaving some "normal" biker behind him.

And even the last one Harald Moosleitner also reached after 3:45:25 the finishing line and therefore the unicyclists are the only group where there were no drop outs!

This year for the first time there were Tandems on all distances at the start. The ten bikers with their five bikes were besides Gary Fisher and the unicyclists the most popular photo motif at the Trophy.

The most attention attracted the Team "Madmission 1”, which tackled for the first with a tandem the 209 km course and also managed to reach the finishing line! However with a time of 16:09:43 they were even too slow for the SlowMotion rating. It seems that they got the wrong doping mixture and so they have to join next years' Trophy. For more information see MadEast Challenge.

A great success was also the Junior Trophy in Gosau where kids and teenagers from five until 16 years of age tackled the distances between 1,5 and 15,5 kilometers. With 187 young talents from Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Czech Republic and Hungary the Junior Trophy is becoming very international!
