Track cycling: The German track cycling championship in Dudenhofen is in full swing. Several medals were awarded on the second day of the Bahn-DM 2018. Among other things, Maximilian Dörnbach again won the time trial over 1.000 meters. The 22-year-old dedicated his victory to his teammate Kristina Vogel who had an accident.
Maximilian Dörnbach defends his title
Maximilian Dornbach and Kristina Vogel ride for the Erdgas 2012 team. While Dörnbach can fight for the German track cycling championship in Dudenhofen, his teammate Kristina Vogel is in a Berlin hospital fighting for her health. It speaks for the still young 22-year-old that he thinks of his colleague at the moment of triumph. After defending his title in the 1.000 meter time trial, he dedicated it to Kristina Vogel before the award ceremony. In a time of 1:01,528 minutes he left ex-world champion Joachim Eilers behind, as did Marc Jurczyk.
Maximilian Dornbach:
"The time reflects the development of the past few weeks and is very good for an open concrete track."
Miriam Welte and Lisa Brennauer win gold
The women's 500 meter time trial and the individual pursuit were on the program today. On a distance of half a kilometer let world champion Miriam Welte no doubt that she is unbeatable at this distance. She secured the German championship title in her special discipline for the eleventh time. On her home track in Dudenhofen, she didn't give Emma Hinze a chance in 34,084 seconds. Pauline Grabosch, who finished fourth at the last world championships, was also at a disadvantage in third place. The final in the one-man pursuit ended very bitterly for Charlotte Becker. She lost the 3.000 meters in the final Lisa Brennauer, because she was caught before the end of the race. Tomorrow the 132nd German Track Cycling Championship will continue with the men's scratch and team sprint, as well as the women's keirin and team pursuit.
