The red-white-red national cycling championship opens on Friday at 3pm in Königswiesen with the individual time trial. Beforehand, the "Krone" met with World Tour star Felix Großschartner from Marchtrenk for an interview. The showpiece pro chatted openly - even about difficult topics.

"Krone": Felix, after races in Spain, France and most recently the Giro d'Italia, two highlights are coming up at home with the national championships in Königswiesen and the Tour of Austria. A nice feeling?
Felix Großschartner: Yes, it's always nice, you know a lot of riders and coaches in the Austrian teams that you don't see that often anymore. The whole family also comes along, which is really special. I always try to be there at the national championships.
