Niederwaldkirchner Duo wins at Alpen racing bike stages!

Innsbruck, Österreich - The enthusiastic mood around the current Tour Transalp 2025 is hardly to be overlooked.

They triumphed on all seven stages and secured the overall victory with an impressive lead of 26 minutes and 50 seconds.

This year, in its 21st edition, the Tour Transalp experienced its debt in Innsbruck as the starting point and led the cyclists over almost 650 kilometers with 16,500 meters of altitude to the picturesque destination Riva del Garda on Lake Garda. The route was peppered with challenging climbs, including the famous Stilfser Joch, one of the highest alpine passes with over 2,800 meters of altitude.

strong team and pure challenge

Oberngruber and Pammer are not only talented athletes, but also show how close teamwork can decide on success or failure. They expanded their winning streak, which began in the past two years. They received support from their dedicated support team around Franz Hackl, Martina Thaller, Reinhard Leitner and Martin Hammerschmid. This crew ensured technical support, meals and physiotherapeutic measures during the race, which is of crucial importance in such demanding competitions.

But the success story of the Mühlviertel team does not end here: The team "Elektro Reindl Powered by Katzinger Hydraulikschhose Service" was also in the race, with Matthias Brunner, Johannes Pernsteiner, Herbert Stöbich and Martin Höglinger took the places ten and eleven in the Masters team classification. Johannes Kobler from Altenfelden made it to 24th place in the individual ranking - a considerable success with this extreme challenge.
