Rennbericht Engelberg 2025

Race report Engelberg

The Swiss rider Alessandra Keller left the competition with no chance at the ÖKK BIKE REVOLUTION in Engelberg, decisively winning ahead of Seraina Leugger and Linda Indergand. The victory also stayed in Central Switzerland in the men's race. Marcel Guerrini, who lives in Ufhusen, celebrated a start-to-finish victory ahead of Nino Schurter.

What a week for the Nidwalden mountain biker Alessandra Keller (28). First, she celebrated a victory in the Short Track at the World Cup in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic, and a third place in the race over the Olympic distance. Then came the well-deserved selection for the Olympic Games in Paris, and to top it off, she secured a clear home victory in front of a local audience at the ÖKK BIKE REVOLUTION in Engelberg.

The world number 1 took the lead at the start of the race and celebrated an undisputed victory. Seraina Leugger and Linda Indergand followed in second and third place, over two minutes behind. "It was incredibly fun to ride in front of so many fans, fan club members, and friends. I really enjoyed the last lap!" said the Central Swiss rider at the finish.

Marcel Guerrini also celebrated a start-to-finish victory. Immediately after the start loop, he pulled away from his pursuers and built a lead of over 30 seconds, showcasing his excellent form. Behind Guerrini, an exciting battle for second place unfolded. Nino Schurter, who was consistently in the chasing group, ultimately secured second place. Timon Rüegg and Luca Schätti, who steadily worked their way up from eighth and ninth positions, finished third and fourth, respectively. Unfortunately, Lars Forster had bad luck: a flat tire two laps before the end dropped him from second to sixth place.

Over 600 active bikers and several thousand fans enjoyed a great weekend in Engelberg despite the changeable weather. The national mountain bike festival not only offers top-level sports but also many activities for children and amateur athletes.

The third race of this year's ÖKK BIKE REVOLUTION season will take place in Davos on June 29th and 30th.

Rund um die, durch die lokale Trailbau-Crew von Streckenchef Pirmin Kündig bestens aufbereitete Rennstrecke, waren am Ende für den Anlass 120 Helferinnen und Helfer im Einsatz. Die Präsidentin des lokalen Organisationskomitees, Julia Barandun, zeigte sich nach dem Wochenende entsprechend glücklich und zufrieden: «Wir haben das Klosterdorf Engelberg am vergangenen Wochenende als vielseitiges Outdoor-Eldorado und Feriendestination für perfekte Bergmomente präsentieren dürfen.»

Total haben rund 600 aktive Biker:innen und gegen 5000 Fans trotz minütlich wechselnden Wetterverhältnissen ein mit Spiel, Spass und Rennaction bepacktes Wochenende im Engelbergertal geniessen dürfen. Die BIKE REVOLUTION verbindet als führende Schweizer Cross-Country-Mountainbike Eventserie die Elemente Spitzensport, Nachwuchsförderung und Mountainbike Erlebnis für Hobbysportler.

Am übernächsten Wochenende vom 16. bis 18. Mai 2025 findet bereits die zweite Austragung der diesjährige BIKE REVOLUTION Saison im Blumenstädtchen Huttwil statt. Dabei erwartet die Zuschauer unter anderem ein spannendes Duell zwischen dem Olympiasieger von 2016 Nino Schurter und dem Olympiazweiten von 2022 Mathias Flückiger.
