Tabor included the first ever WC Junior women race. On the podium were Zoe Backstedt, Marie Schreiber, and Lucia Bramati, all of who were running Challenge tires.
The morning temperature in Tabor was quite low and terrain was a bit frosty:
“I think the Grifo was the right choice for the course today as it was still a little bit frosty on the ground so I had the perfect amount of grip and a fast rolling tire for the road and flat sections” – declared Zoe Backstedt at the end of race.
