Siber and Rucknagel win round two in Canzei
|
None of the participants knew what to expect from Canazei's first showing as a race venue so getting accustomed to the conditions at hand was the first thing to do. The course was a high-speed track, which supported the race's motto "release the brakes and give it a go". As with this series' first stop, the weather conditions were unsettled.
Rain set in just in time for Saturday's lunch break. So many riders had to race their seeding run on a wet track without having had the chance to practice under the tricky conditions. Andreas Sieber (Solid A-Class Factory Team) handled the extremely slippery course best, winning the seeding run and thus securing himself the last starting spot on Sunday.
Conditions changed throughout Sunday as well. The literally soaked soil dried out some during the course of the day, but full attention and solid skills were necessary in the technical sections.
Swiss Marcel Beer (iXS Sports Division) was the first serious contender to occupy the Red Bull Hot Seat, but he had to give up soon to Italian Marco Bugnone (Ancillotti Team). The Italian's time was only to be bested by Sieber, who rode to his first victory of this season posting a time of 3'26.
In the women's race Scuol's third-place finisher Harriet Rücknagel (Team Zonenschein) stood up to her competitors, winning ahead of Swiss racers Silya Stadler (RMC Kerns) and Miriam Ruchti (Sport Promotion). After having won the seeding run, German Sandra Rübesam (Rad Art) had a crash in her final run, knocking her out of contention for the victory.
The junior race was attended by a strong international field. German Daniel Gottschall (DH Youngstars) won after managing to put more than five seconds on Belgian Dave Goris (Troy Lee Designs). The third place went to Italian Justyn Norek (Racing Team Dayco ASD). Having won the seeding run too, Gottschall's final time would have put him well within the top ten in the elite race.
In the master's category, German Jörg Heydt (Last) climbed to the top of the podium.
