Schurter out-sprints Gujan for win

The Swiss Racer Bikes Cup wrapped up in Muttenz this weekend an exciting race. Nino Schurter (Scott-Swisspower MTB Racing) outsprinted Martin Gujan (Cannondale Factory Racing) for the elite men's race. Florian Vogel (Scott-Swisspower MTB Racing) was third, just three seconds behind his teammate Schurter. In the women's race, local hero Kathrin Leumann (goldwurst-power / Sputnik) triumphed.

Racing in hot summer weather, Lukas Flückiger (23 Degrees/ Trek World Racing), Gujan, Schurter and Vogel formed the leading group in the men's race. In the fourth lap, Lukas Flückiger flatted and had to walk a great distance to the tech zone where he remedied the problem, but not before losing lots of time. He would finish 12th.
