Michael Schweizer (Stevens) also proved his current strong form in Vaihingen and secured the third round of the Germany Cup. After his victory in Lohne he prevailed this time with a lead of almost a minute over his closest pursuer. Luxembourg's Christian Helmig (Differdange-Losch) finished second behind Schweizer and relegated his teammate Ole Quast to third place. With his victory, Schweizer also took the lead in the overall cup standings.
Elisabeth Brandau dominated the women's event. And in a way that couldn't have been clearer. In the end, the MTB specialist was one lap ahead of Martina Zwick (RV Central Rhede) and Agnes Naumann (Focus CX Ladies). After three runs, Bettina Lambracht is in the lead in the overall standings.
