The Salzkammergut by post
What is the Trophy for you?
The A-course in Bad Goisern has shaped my life as an athlete. In general, the Trophy is a season highlight for bikers. I think it fits so well because the route is a little over 200 kilometres long - there are more than 7,000 metres of elevation gain and everyone reaches their limits. Me as a professional, the amateur athletes probably a bit earlier.
Which section is unique?
After 160 kilometres, the famous Salzberg awaits us riders on the A-road and it's extremely steep and extremely demanding. When you get there at the latest, you think of the devil a few times.
What does the Trophy offer visitors?
The Trophy is also a big party for the public. The finish line is incredible, there are so many people, whether it's sunny or raining. The last participant to cross the finish line - around nine o'clock in the evening - is celebrated like a winner. It's already dark by then and the cheers are still huge - indescribable!
