Eva Lechner’s medal count at European Championships now amounts to ten (3 gold, 3 sil­ver and 4 bronze) after the 2012 European MTB Championships out­side of Moscow.

Eva and her Colnago were part of the Team Relay Event, which was on the sched­ule for the first day of com­pe­ti­tion. Teams were com­posed of one Elite Men Athlete, one Junior, one U23 Athlete (both Men and Eva count­ing for the Elite Women’s cat­e­gory). The “Azzurri” won 4 sec­onds ahead of Team Switzerland and 12 sec­onds ahead of the Dutch Team. Eva, who had started after Michele Casagrande and Gioele Bertolini, passed on to the last rider Luca Braidot as third, plac­ing him in the ideal posi­tion to attack and win.

“A gold medal at a major com­pe­ti­tion has to be val­u­ated as a suc­cess. It spreads pos­i­tive energy, moti­vates the team and gives pros­per­ity for the upcom­ing com­pe­ti­tions”, stated Edmund Telser, MTB Pro-Team Colnago-Südtirol‘s Team Manager, look­ing back at the European MTB Championships.

MTB Pro-Team Colnago-Südtirol is con­firmed to take part in the 19th edi­tion of the “Giro del Trentino Internazionale Femminile”, which will take place from 16th to 17th June 2012, before the UCI MTB World Cup con­tin­ues over­sees in Mt. Saint Anne, Canada and Windham, United States.
