Open MTB Marathon Gran Canaria - NE
Gran Canaria, Spain, March 8, 2008
Brachtendorf and Ouchterlony capture marathon wins
The first European marathon race of the season was held in Gran Canaria on March 8. 111 riders tackled the difficult 90km course with over 2,000 metres of climbing, some new singletrack, and a hike-a-bike section. The winner James Ouchterlony (Limpiezas Victoria - Bemekis) from Great Britain completed the course in three hours, 29 minutes. Second placed rider, Alejandro Diaz De La Peña (Tierra de Barros-Specialized) from Spain, finished ten minutes later, and Hans Obwaller (Team Sport Nora) from Austria, finished in third place, in what he described as "the hardest race of the season".
Kerstin Brachtendorf (Team Rotwild) from Germany won the women's race in five hours, 36 minutes, with Jenn O'Connor (Team Altura Patterson Training) from New Zealand and Sandra Klomp (NSR) from Italy in second and third places.
Michael Kalivoda, riding for Ghost team was the first German - he finished in sixth place overall.
A new feature for the weekend introduced by race organiser Petra Wonish, was the mountain bike criterium race held on the evening before the marathon race. Twenty international riders raced a short circuit around the Parque del Sur in Maspalomas. Stefan Danowski (RG BSV Hamburg) from Germany who attacked from the start, was chased by the other riders, such as favourites Alejandro Diaz de la Peña and Mathias Mende (Madmission.de), but Danowski held his lead to win the race.
