Vogel wins over Sauser in Engleberg

As a sort of preview for the Swiss Championships next weekend, the Swiss Racer Bikes Cup was run in Engleberg on Sunday. In the men's race, European Champion Florian Vogel won ahead of World Champion Christoph Sauser. In the women's race, Katrin Leumann (goldwurst-power / Sputnik) won in front of Nathalie Schneitter (Colnago).

For Sauser, it was his first race in Switzerland since he won the world championships last year. On the 3,200m course, the pace was extraordinarily high from the start. Silvio Bundi (Giant-Swiss-Team) set the pace, but then Vogel took over along with Martin Gujan (Cannondale Factory Racing), Martin Fanger (Giant-Swiss-Team), Lukas Flückiger (23 degrees/Trek).
