For the first time in the history of the TransAlp race, a stage had to be cancelled. Organizers made the decision due to bad weather conditions including heavy rainfall in the start town Mittenwald and some snowfall in higher altitudes where temperatures were at 0 degrees Celsius. They were concerned about the safety of participants.
