In the Kampler Waldgasse world, where the Canadian Wahl-Stubaier Jack Burke is a top Radrennen.

NOSE STICK. Anfang September is about the Grund zum Jubeln. Jack Burke from Neustift went to the Ötztal-Radmarathon in the Fabelzeit of 6 stunden, 49 minutes and 38 seconds. “I have a fantastic day”, I hope to see the Wahl-Stubaier in their next class after 2022. The 227 Kilometers and 5500 meters over four Passes (Kühtai-Brenner-Jaufenpass-Timmelsjoch) are the little ones in the new Rekordzeit abgespult. The 29-year period is over 4,500 additional locations. There is a moment when the minutes are played on the first publication!

Ein Leben für den Radsport

That’s true, it’s not that it’s thought about anymore. Burke Radprofi has been a war in North America for 14 years that lasts a long time, and then he plays with Schicksal. But from before: Burke fuhr in the blessed homeland at the highest level. 2019 is in Germany, in Vorarlberg and in the Stubaital. The big and important Radrennen find their name in Europe statt. The dream of the absolute world peak originated here. Bald Burke was assigned to an Austrian team. Until then everything goes according to plan.

Hart ​​Way Back

Years ago I took a training course in the Axamer Lizum with a car. A big injury is waiting in the hospital. His bike team is in the season or the warning from the crew. That brought financial difficulties with it. Burke does not want the credit provision to take longer and that he pays more attention to the medical care confrontation. “On behalf of Mir, online a training program for cyclists to set up – I have the know-how yes”, reports Austro-Kanadier. A book has been published about the book “How do I become a professional cyclist” and I started a podcast. “For the sake of luck I got it all very well, so I could pay my bills and receipts.”

The future is good

Still the business with the old sports career. Here the 29-year-olds of the fall come to help. Watch the podcast with Burke in contact with the long-term Radcoach Steve Neal. If you use the tribe from Canada, it may be that they both do not die. Your mind is at some point – ​​one comb to the other. Neal motivated Burke to train. The right device follows on the bike: Friend Armin Zorn organizes his career at Scott Sports on a wetkampfbike and Burke who rides on the pedals. It is trained who is wild and comb in fuller Strongke back.

Childhood path in focus

In the race over the Alps, the Kühtai mountain champions and others claim that they will again achieve peak results, such as siege. Only a new cycling team is Burke’s fault today, because his childhood dreams of Olympia, Tour de France and World Cups may not have come true. Privately, Burke loves the Stubaital: “It’s a miracle here, a perfect playground for an athlete and it’s so few people”, laughs. The length is a deterioration of the ski mountain climbs and not much more than a year ago. “Die ganze Nachbarschaft is a stolz in my heart and a fiebert with whom I am in the Einsatz”, very much by Julia Niggas. The height of the daumendrücken is the next Malcommenden Sonntag, when the Kitzbüheler Radmarathon started.
