Career

Alexander Gehbauer started cycling at an early age, and when he was ten he joined a cycling club. A great role model for him was his brother Robert Gehbauer , who was two years his senior and won the gold medal at the Junior World Championships in 2005.

He contested his first race in 2001 at the Carinthian State Championships. He took second place there. In 2012 he became Austrian national champion in cross country. In the same year he took part in the Summer Olympics in the Cross Country competition and finished ninth. In 2013 he was again Austrian national champion in cross country.
