I could step on the podium in Gränichen once again. I’m very happy about that and it gives me the motivation to train for the next races. At the first climb I couldn’t go with the pace of the leaders but I was in a good position. After that I felt really good and I could gain some positions. For a short time I was in the group who were fighting for 3rd place - unfortunately I couldn’t hold their speed. After the 5th lap of 7 I was doing my own race. A group were chasing me but I could hold my position and crossed the finish line in 5th place. Together with Giger, M. Flückiger, L. Flückiger and Vogel I could step on the podium. I do a race break now and I’m preparing for the next races in the high altitude of the Engadin valley. Complete results Elite Men 1. Fabian Giger (SUI) Giant Pro XC Team 1:28.55,0 2.
