Race ticker: International, Regional and Phenomenal
On her cross-country-free weekend, Nathalie Schneitter joins the enduro riders - with success. At the Specialized-Sram Enduro Series in Willingen (GER), she finished second behind the flying Dutch rider Anneke Beerten. Schneitter beat Raphaela Richter (GER) by the blink of an eye and Katy Winton (GBR) by two blinks. Another Swiss rider, Monika Büchi, finished in a good sixth place. Remo Heutschi did even better in the Masters category. He wins by four seconds and extends his overall lead. In the men's category, Michal Prokop from the Czech Republic defeated Irish enduro star Greg Callaghan. The best Swiss rider is Mirco Widmer in 18th place.
Swiss marathon runners land a triple success in France. At the Roc-des-Alpes marathon in La Clusaz, France, over 80 kilometers and 3050 meters of altitude, Johan Tschopp is the day's winner. His team colleague Arnaud Rapillard takes second place ahead of Xavier Dafflon, another Frenchman. Damian Perrin from Bern rounds off the strong Swiss result with fifth place.
The organizers of the Argovia-Vittoria-Fischer-Cup in Oftringen are very lucky with the weather. Instead of dog days, it stayed dry and the sun often peeked out. This makes it ideal for even the youngest participants to complete the skills course. Andreas Moser and Marine Groccia clearly beat their opponents in the elite categories on the varied course in Oftringen. The next race of the Argovia Vittoria Fischer Cup even belongs to the UCI C2 category and will be held next weekend in Lostorf.
After his podium finish at the Niesenlauf, former elite mountain biker Friedrich Dähler is planning a world record attempt. Weather permitting, the teacher from Ettingen/BL will attempt to break the world record for uphill climbing on June 20. He will attempt to climb the 960 meters in altitude between Ennenda near Glarus and Bärenboden at least 18 times within 24 hours. He will ride the Aeugstenbahn gondola down into the valley. This will ride non-stop for an extra 24 hours. If the plan succeeds, he will break the 17,000 vertical meters of the current record holder and extreme mountaineer Andrea Vogel.
