Swisspower cup

Round four of the Swisspower Cup heads to Gränichen on Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25, after a pause of several weeks due to three World Cups and the European Championships.

Favorites for the race would include last year's second place Lukas Flückiger, newly crowned European champion Florian Vogel, Ralph Näf, Christoph Sauser, Thomas Frischknecht, U23 racer Matthias Flückiger, and Silvio Bundi and Jean-Christophe Peraud. In the women's race, European champion Sabine Spitz of Germany is an obvious favorite. Her likely adversaries include marathon world champion Petra Henzi, Maroussia Rusca, Renata Bucher and Kathrin Leumann.
