Lukas Flückiger wins in Davos
Last takes Wloszczowska by 13 seconds
Despite rainy weather, the debut of Davos in the Swiss BMC Racing Cup was a success. 569 participants from 17 countries used the race as a tune-up before the Swiss national championships next weekend and the Olympic Games in London in August. Lukas Flückiger (Trek World Racing) and Annie Last (Milka-Brentjens) won the elite men's and women's races.
The track was not technical, but with the rain overnight, there were some tricky and slippery sections. It was a good test for the Val d'Isere World Cup because Davos is also close to 1800m in altitude.
Flückiger took a deserved victory in rainy conditions. He dominated the race, and only Nicola Rohrbach (Goldwurst-Power/Trek) could hang until lap four although he went on to finish fifth It was Flückiger first victory since Engelberg last year.
"With the rain, the track was a bit technical. I've raced well and am happy with my performance at this level," said Flückiger.
Swiss Martin Gujan (Cannondale Factory Racing) took second ahead of Australian champion Daniel McConnell (Anytime Fitness/Trek/Shimano).
Alexander Gehbauer (RC Arbö Askö Klagenfurt) of Austria was the best U23 rider ahead of Kenta Gallager of Great Britain and Reto Indergand (BMC) of Switzerland.
In the women's race, Annie Last and Maja Wloszowska (CCC Polkowice) dominated the race from the start. A preliminary decision seemed to be made on the second lap when Wloszowska had a lead of 13 seconds over Last. However, after a fall, Last caught her and went on to victory.
"Annie rode a strong final lap and deserved to win," said Wloszowska.
Sarah Koba (Simplon) was the best Swiss rider in seventh place, just ahead of Kathrin Stirnemann.
Unfortunately, the women's race was missing some of its stars: Esther Süss, Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa and Irina Kalentieva all decided not to start on short notice due to the weather conditions.
The junior men's race was filled with tension. Dominic Grab (Team Grab-Cred) earned a maximum lead of 39 seconds, but it was down to six seconds by the end. Grab probably started too fast as he was passed on the final lap by Andri Frischknecht (Scott Swisspower), who celebrated his third win.
Sofia Wiedenroth (TSV Niederstaufen / Stevens Schubert Team) won the junior women's race ahead of Andrea Waldis (VC Gersau/Colnago).
In the Amateurs and masters category, Sylvain Engelmann (Prof-Raiffeisen-CCL) took his first win in the series.
