Four medals at Swiss MTB Championships XC

Last weekend in Savognin (CH), Swisspower Team riders won four medals in the Swiss MTB Championships XC event. The races were dominated by Swisspower Team riders. Nino Schurter demonstrated his excellent shape as one of the best U23 riders worldwide, finishing 1st. Till Marx had the best race of his season and took 2nd place behind his teammate Nino. In the Elite category, Thomas Frischknecht and Florian Vogel started fast and were leading in the first lap. Unfortunately Thomas couldn't hold the pace of the following riders, but managed to hold on for 5th place and was owner of the fastest lap time. It was also a great effort by Florian Vogel, who finished in 3rd place behind Christoph Sauser (1st) and Martin Gujan (2nd). Last but not least, young star Patrick Gallati did his part very well in the Junior category and finalized the medal collection with a silver in 2nd place. Congrats to all the riders!
