GlemmRide Bike Festival 2018 – Saalbach-Hinterglemm (AUT) – Best Of

Three days of full-packed action with mountain biking, amusing side events and an exuberant festival atmosphere. More than 5,000 mountain bike fans were attracted to the Salzburger Land this year. The FMB Gold Slopestyle, as well as the Specialized Rookies Cup and approximately 50 exhibitors made their mark again on the prestigious GlemmRide Bike Festival. Saalbach Hinterglemm was yet again the hotspot of the international biker scene. The highlight of the festival was, as every year, the FMB Gold Slopestyle. International top riders such as Nicholi Rogatkin, Diego Caverzasi, Tomas Lemoine, Erik Fedko and Thomas Genon were the set riders in the lineup. The podium, however, showed a different look: the victory went to Torquato Testa (ITA) with 91.00 points. Thomas Genon (BEL) took the second spot with 84.66 points. The "Hero of the Weekend" Award goes to friendly Austrian Bernd Winkler from Hartberg. With his run he was able to convince the audience and obviously the judges and landed in third place with 83.66 points. With this result, he was also able to secure the much sought-after wildcard for the season highlight of the FMB Tour in Canada: The Joyride in Whistler. Bernd Winkler is therefore the first Austrian to start at Joyride.
