Georg Egger is half a surprise: German biker, bronze medal in Team Relay at the 2013 World Championships in South Africa. Specialized in Cross Country but in recent years he has not managed to go beyond good placings in minor international races, suffering on the stages of the World Cup (despite some top 30 in short track). This year the choice to focus on marathons seems to prove him right.

famac@famac.ind.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
