Riccardo Zuidl won our bike tour as the last Austrian so far. For many, the top favorite is the top favorite at the Ö-Tour, which started on Wednesday in Steyr in Steyr. Patrick Konrad and Felix Großschartner want to fight for the first home victory since 2013.
Krone: The whole world is currently looking for the Tour de France. How important is the tour of Austria?
Felix Großschartner: In our country it is the largest bicycle race with a lot of history and tradition. Internationally, the focus is of course on the Tour, because our Tour is running more on the side.
Patrick Konrad: For me and many other young Austrians it was a springboard for my first professional contract. Thanks to the TV photos it is also important for tourism, on TV you see our great landscapes. The large professional teams appreciate our streets and hotel.
