Additionally, we are extremely proud of the winners and all the others who conquered the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon. The following categories and classes will receive a prize: overall winner (female and male), the three best cyclists of every category and the five best teams. Prize winners who do not take part in the official prize-giving ceremony will be excluded from next year's drawing of starting places.
