With the Tour de France and the Vuelta España, Felix Gall has competed in two national tours in one season for the first time in his career. However, Austria's cycling star is not going on vacation just yet. The climber wants to attack again at the World Cycling Championships in Switzerland (September 29).

"Krone": With 4470 meters of elevation gain, the World Championship course around Zurich rivals any royal stage in the Tour de France. What do you expect from the race?
Felix Gall: It doesn't look that tough to me on paper. So not really something for climbers, but good for pros like Pogacar or Evenepoel. A world championship is always an elimination race anyway, every lap it gets one km/h faster and five people less."
