It was a spectacular race around lake Neusiedl in Austria. 1500 riders started from the village called Morbisch am See, having to complete a 125 km long race course around the lake situated between Austria and Hungary. It was an honor to me to present the event, especially because of the fact that it goues far beyond sports: it takes place at the border between the two states, a border which was reopened just 25 years ago. Now, thousands of participants have the opportunity to enjoy a major event at this pitoresque place.
