At the BIKE Festival Saalfelden Leogang, participants had the exclusive opportunity to take part in workshops with professional bikers. Of course, it's always exciting to see which bikes they ride. We kept an eye on them.
Particularly popular: the workshops with downhill ace Andreas Kolb.Photo: Desire LinesParticularly popular: the workshops with downhill ace Andreas Kolb.

The rookies were allowed to World record biker Elias Schwärzler through the Leogang bike park. The downhill bikers received exclusive tips from World Cup rider Marlena Neißl. Jasper Jauch (former German runner-up) took bikers on his "Techy Trails" riding technique workshop. Despite the rather damp and cold weather, many came to the BIKE Academy Workshops and set off on the trails and lines in Bikepark Leogang. But certainly not without taking a look or two at the pros' bikes. And here they are:
