Put a sprinter and a biker on the track and have them race 400 meters. That’s no contest.
But throw hurdles into the mix, and it becomes a little more interesting.
That’s just what happened at a track meet in Linz, Austria, which hosted a professional track meet Monday.
Two-time Olympic champion Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic faced Thomas Oehler, whose profession is “trialbiking,” according to Red Bull. Oehler apparently won, handily.
