Jakub Vencl landed on an excellent 5th place. “Vienna was always a beginning of the regular season for me and this year was no exception. I had to go through the pre-quali on friday as I´m missing points from last year due the injury I had. Jumps were great this year and even though this is not my favourite kind of course, I had a lot of fun riding it. I just felt good on my bike all 3 days and tried to do clean run instead of hucking it and it worked out great. I made it to 6-men super-finals with my safety run and had some more to show then, but unfortunately I didnt managed to pull the whole run. In the end I´m super happy with my 5th place, which is a good start for the rest of the season.“, Jakub said after the event last weekend.

Anyway this is a great result and he was the best Austrian Rider.
