Roth winner Andi Dreitz starts again in the Home of Triathlon
Home race for the winner of DATEV Challenge Roth 2019
The winner of DATEV Challenge Roth 2019, Andi Dreitz, is returning to the Home of Triathlon this year. The 36-year-old top athlete, known above all for his outstanding cycling performance, will be back on the start line on July 6 to face the international competition.
“Ready to attack again”
Andi Dreitz wants to be at the front again this year: “I'm really looking forward to being able to really step on the gas again in my home country - after some difficult years, I finally found my way back in the middle of last year and got a lengthy fall injury under control and am ready to attack again.”
Dreitz also wants to make use of his home advantage as a native of Franconia and Nuremberg by choice: “What could be better than competing in Franconia with many top triathlon stars and talents in front of the world's best audience and chasing new best times?” The fact that the new dad likes Roth was impressively demonstrated by his triumph in 2019: “If the ‘youngsters’ want tips on how to win here, they are welcome to ask - I won't give the wrong advice; but if you know better anyway - it's your own fault.”
Andi Dreitz won the race in 2019 in 7:53:23h. He already came second in 2018. In 2024, he finished third at Ironman Malaysia and Ironman Chattanooga.
