Vogel places 6th at WC in Mt. St. Anne

6thplace by Vogel at WC #5

In Mt. St. Anne (CAN) Florian Vogel again had a strong race and finished in 6th place. He also improved his overall WC cross-country ranking to 6th place! Because of a mechanical, Nino Schurter missed the top ten but heldf on for 18th, and he's still leading the U23 category. With more than a 20 point lead on second place, he should be able to win the U23 category, and he's currently in 9th place in the overall rankings. At same time, the 9th issue of Swisspowercup was taking place in La Chaux de Fonds (CH). The junior race was won by Patrick Gallati with a great effort. Till Marx was 8th in the Elite category, and was the fastest U23 rider behind France's Stephane Tempier.
