Reigning FIM Hard Enduro world champion Lettenbichler overcame 500 competitors and a mountain referred to as the 'Iron Giant' to win Austria's iconic race in two hours and 31 minutes. Once in the lead, Lettenbichler put on a masterclass to beat his closest challenger Bolt by 11 minutes. After 1300 riders entered, 500 made it past the Prologue to make the start, but only 17 managed to finish the course containing 27 checkpoints across varied terrain within the four-hour race time limit.
