#19: Reflections on Red Bull X-Alps 2025

My personal reflections on the Red Bull X-Alps
2025:


Risk, Responsibility & Personal Growth


- How did it feel to watch from the sidelines?


- Do I miss it?


- What’s my take on Aaron Durogati’s win – and on why Chrigel
Maurer didn’t claim victory this time?





I also dive into deeper topics:


- The balance between risk and responsibility.


- How race design impacts athlete decisions.


- What has changed in the Red Bull X-Alps over the years – from
route setting to media pressure.


- And finally: what the race has taught me about life, freedom,
and making the right calls for yourself.
