The twelfth edition of the toughest mountain bike marathon in the world has come to an end. For the 2022 BMW HERO Südtirol Dolomites the absolute winners were Leonardo Paez from Colombia, now at his seventh win on the excruciatingly hard 86-km course, and Adelheid Morath from Germany who was always in the lead on the 60-km course. Diego Alfonso Arias Cuervo and local favourite Gerhard Kerschbaumer joined the winner on the podium, followed by their counterparts, i.e. Debora Piana and Elena Gaddoni from Italy.
