Bonnekessel Nord-Rhein-Westfalen state champion in MTB marathon.
This weekend the international MTB marathon took place in Schmallenbeg-Grafschaft. Over 850 bikers came and competed under finest weather.
In addition to the international competition, on the long distance track (110Km and 3200meter altitude difference), the state championships of Nord-Rhein-Westfalen were held. Two rounds had to be completed for this. Michael Bonnekessel (Team Poison-German-A) started, although his injured hand was not fully recovered yet. Thus, he wasn’t the odds-on favorite. This was the ”job” of Günther Reitz (Team Firebike), who won the trophy last year. However, the favorite Reitz saw a big challenge coming up with Poison-German-A driver Bonnekessel, who showed outstanding performance, endurance and especially stamina to reach a sensational 4th rank at the German MTB marathon championships in Garmisch.
“Energy scheduling” very important
Bonnekessel started gently, saving energy for the later parts of the competition. This paid off in the second half. Bonnekessel finished after 4:36 without having sections of low power or hardware breakdown- 5minutes in front of rank two! Bonnekessel won his first state trophy in MTB marathon in his 4th run. After winning the German championship in cross-country and the state championship in cross-country, this is his third remarkable success in 2009.

1st rank- 24h Univega MTB-race in Steindorf
Saturday 1pm: The race was on! After the first jump, Markus Pielenz and Christian Fischer were able to push themselves into the front of the field of double-teams. For the next couple of rounds they worked together to improve their positions and so it was no surprise that they were in front of the other teams by 5minutes after the first hour.
Sandra Sumerauer switched on for Markus Pielenz. She won another couple of minutes to the other teams, but unfortunately she got off the track while overtaking a slower driver in the second creek crossing. Her tire burst, and she overturned. The fall and the necessary repair set the two drivers far back, but they both showed stamina and worked themselves up to the top positions. Around evening they were leading again and by staying at high speed for the whole night they were in front by various minutes when the sun raised again. Over the last couple of hours they even increased the distance to their next competitors. With 84 rounds they were the obvious champions of this double-mixed-team competition, in front of Look-speed with 73 rounds and Team Sportschule Puch with 58 rounds.
Both, Pielenz and Sumerauer drove our Kilo.
Kind regards
Markus Pielenz
