Lillo and Forchini win the BIKE REVOLUTION Cup classification
Race-Ticker
Around 550 participants, a hot June weekend in Davos and a challenging mountain bike route around the Jakobshorn cable car in Davos. The ingredients for an eventful final weekend could not have been better. In the elite men's race, a trio of Luca Schätti, Dario Lillo and Thomas Litscher were able to assert themselves at the front right from the start. Schätti pulled away on the very last climb and Lillo was unable to counter. "My legs were blue, Luca rode away from me decisively," said Lillo at the end of the race. "Dario and I train together a lot, I could tell from the look on his face that he was having a good day too and was then able to move forward in the right position," said Schätti after the end of the race. After a problem with the chain and later a bent handlebar at the start of the race, Vital Albin from Team Thömus maxon in Graubünden fought his way to a strong third place at the end of the race and third place in the series. The 2017 world champion Samuel Gaze had to abandon the race early after a technical defect.
Ramona Forchini still in top form
In a strong, international field of participants in the elite women's race, a group of four with Nina Graf from Lapierre Racing Unity, Davos Klosters ambassador Sina Frei as well as Seraina Leugger and Ramona Forchini from the BIXS Performance Race Team pulled away from the field right from the start. Forchini kept her form high after 11th place last weekend at the World Cup in Val di Sole and won the race in Davos and the overall standings after an attack on lap five. "It was important to be present right from the start. Halfway through the race I saw a hole and thought, now I have to go," added the happy winner. Team colleague Seraina Leugger was first in the final downhill, but was narrowly beaten by the explosive Sina Frei after a tight sprint. Nina Graf takes fourth place. After her excellent 5th place at the Swiss Road Championships yesterday, Ginia Caluori from Graubünden finishes a strong fifth in her home mountain bike race in Davos.
Lillo and Forchini win the Cup classification
Ramona Forchini from Toggenburg takes her first title at the BIKE REVOLUTION, while Seraina Leugger finishes third and works her way up to second place. In the men's race, Dario Lillo, the most consistent rider over the four races, won the overall classification.
