The third round of the Austrian IC Track Nationals was held at the LAMAC track last weekend. Due to bad weather prediction for Sunday all four qualifying rounds would be held on Saturday. Right from the start it was Nejc Mihelic who set the pace and with all four rounds completed it was still Nejc on top followed by Herfried Pucher and Michael Holler. On Sunday the rain arrived as expected and just when the main finals started. So the organisers had to call the race a day and by taking the qualifying results to determine the winner it was Nejc with the win from Herfried and Michael. With the win Mihelic already took the overall championship title thanks to scoring three wins in a row and with the season finale still to come in September.
