New faces shine, but champions prevail

After four days of adrenalin-filled racing, the event’s top riders arrived at Silvaplana lake hungry for glory in the Medal Series. The wind, however, had different ideas.
All week you could have set your watch on the arrival of the Maloja wind - the local thermal breeze that kicks-in at lunchtime - but not today.
The men’s Golden Ticket race was the only casualty of the weather. As tenth-placed finisher in qualifying, Gregorio Pugliese was awarded the last spot in the Medal Series.

Against the Odds – Ghio and Spanu Shine

Contrary to all the forecasts, the sun shone and the local Maloja breeze blew up to 15 knots to give us an incident-filled final day of qualification races.

At stake in the Men’s competition was a place in the medal series. For the event leader Mathis Ghio keeping hold of his top spot would mean automatic qualification into the final.
