Tobias Kongstad and Karolina MigoÅ emerged victorious at The Traka 360, a grueling endurance race. Kongstad dominated the men's field, pulling away from a lead group after 200 kilometers, ultimately finishing the 358.5km course in 11 hours, 37 minutes, and 30 seconds. MigoÅ matched his success in the women's division. Kongstad's bold solo effort led to a significant lead, while last year's champion Peter Stetina fell behind in seventh place. This victory marks Kongstad's biggest career win after previous placements in this event and other competitions.
"Probably when I did a stupid attack with 160 kilometres to go in the headwind alone. I didn't want to pull the mountain guys on the flat and they shouldn't benefit from me. So I thought if I went solo they would have to catch me."
Kongstad separated from a small lead group of elite men after 200 kilometres and rode solo for nearly five hours for the victory at The Traka 360.
The victory marks a third trip to The Traka 360 for the Danish winner, who was second in his debut in 2023 and was fifth last year.
Last year's winner in the men's division, Peter Stetina, completed the race 11:30 off the winning pace, riding behind Ande Koster and Mattia De Marchi.
