2023 - Statistics Part 1
Welcome to the 2023 statistics series. We will first take a look at the highlights and rider of the year 2023 of our team, Alive & Dead. Again the year was dominated by our TT strong climber Alessandro Volta, but allrounders like Telsa and hill sprinter Iwachnenko played a big role as well. The highlight again was the GIRO and VUELTA win by Volta, two totally different but equally successfull GTs. In the GIRO Volta was the clear favorite and the team managed the start-finish victory in a defensive way. The opponents were strong and with the relatively low reg of Volta the hardest part was not to overpace at some stages. The Vuelta was totally different with Baer and other strong riders to compete against. The race was more open until Volta could exploit the form setting error of bergwerk and the second half ot the Vuelta was more like a defensive race again. 11 stages at the 2 GTs could be won (5x Volta, 4x Iwachnenko, 1x Tesla + TTT) and Iwachnenko could win the sprint jersey at the GIRO. Nikola Tesla was the side captain at MSR winning the morning edition in a strong field. It was the only win of a cat 6 monument. In many other classics Tesla was leader with some more podium placements (Amstel, Deinze - Wevelgem). Another highlight was the stage race home win of Karl Prachar at the Österreich Radrundfahrt.
