Iiro Sairanen of Imatra to victory in the longest series of Jaama MTB ahead of the duo from Joensuu

Imatra's athletes took two Jaama MTB series victories at Kontiolahti's Kontionpolu.

In the longest route, 68 km, Iiro Sairanen won and in the shortest route, 24 km, Antti Kosonen.

The men repeated the wins they took last year on the same trips.

“I really brutally beat the boys and then at the end of the hill I decided. Win with as little effort as possible. Quite a successful ride", said Sairanen about the project that ended in climbing the wall of the biathlon stadium in Kontiolahti.

Speed brings technicality

Antti Kosonen has taken a liking to Jaamankanka's fast routes. In today's race, the man's average speed was 27.5 kilometers per hour.

“Today was a good day. Kept pedaling at a good level the whole way. A very good route. Although it doesn't have the technicality of other races, it does become technical when the average speed starts to approach thirty. Even small pimples start to feel different," Kosonen said.
