“In the final seconds before the finish, all I could hear was the crowd cheering. I just went all out. I had nothing left to lose.”
For Sadnik, the national title marks a special milestone in her career, especially in her first season with the team.
“I’m feeling so much joy. After all the nerves, the hard work, and the effort, this is such a special moment. It’s also my first year with the team and my first year focusing on road racing, so I’m incredibly happy that I was able to achieve this.”
With her victory, Katharina Sadnik earns the right to wear the Austrian national champion’s jersey for the next year, a fitting reward for a perfectly executed race.
