cycling: Austria second again: Daniel Auer misses victory at the GP Izola

February 25rd 2018 by Michael Behringer

Daniel Auer Austria

Cycling: I'm going crazy! Austrian cycling can once again celebrate second place. However, it should not be enough for a win in the 2018 season. Nevertheless, Daniel Auer (WSA-Pushbikers) can be satisfied with his strong result in Slovenia.

Daniel Auer sprints to second place

At the GP Izola on the Adriatic coast of Slovenia, an Austrian again took second place. It was this time Daniel Auer (WSA-Pushbikers), who just missed out and almost clinched his country's first victory in cycling year 2018. It was just faster Dusan Rajovic (Adria Mobil). The Serb beat Daniel Auer and Matthew Gibson (JLT Condor) by. The German Jannik Steimle (Team Vorarlberg Santic) finished fifth. The best Swiss was his teammate on the twelve Gian Friesecke.

It's almost a running gag in cycling: The Austrians just can't win in 2018. Despite sometimes very strong performances, it is not enough for victory. However, they won't become third parties either. They have already raced to second place five times. made the start Gregor Muehlberger (Bora-hansgrohe) at the Lloseta Andratx Trophy. This was followed by second place on the fifth stage of the Dubai Tour through the power of Mark Haller (Katusha-Alpecin). Luke Schlemmer (Felbermayr-Simplon Wels) finished second at the GP Laguna, as did Matthew Krizek (Felbermayr-Simplon catfish) on the second stage of the Tour of Antalya. Daniel Auer is now the fifth candidate to narrowly escape victory. Who do you think will be next?
