Felix Großschartner: The only Austrian in the wild Strade Bianche”!

It is the competition that cycling fans all over the world are eagerly awaiting: The “Strade Bianche” is coming up, a spectacular event with 213 kilometers and 16 challenging gravel sections. This year, the only Austrian participant Felix Großschartner will compete for the UAE team Emirates, alongside last year's winner Tadej Pogačar. The challenge of the “Strade Bianche” should not be underestimated; Großschartner describes the steep climbs that force you to stay in the saddle so as not to let the rear wheel spin. “It looks a lot easier on TV,” says the pro as he prepares for the daring race that challenges the drivers with clouds of dust and constantly reminds you of the possibility of making a mistake, especially when you're in the crowd of the field, like krone.at reported.

Felix Großschartner, born on December 23, 1993 in Wels, is not only an experienced professional weighing 64 kg and standing 1.84 m tall, but also a crucial player for the UAE team Emirates in this exciting season. As a rival and teammate, he will compete against the best cyclists and hopes to hold his own in the race against the international elite. His achievements so far, including collecting 21 UCI points, show that he could be on the right track. The “Strade Bianche” have the potential to reorganize the dominant forces in cycling and give Großschartner the chance to prove his skills in a classic competition, like procyclingstats.com reported.
