EURO TOUR Nordhausen

For the second year in a row it was a great day on the water in Nordhausen. On the men’s side, the Superlap added an interesting twist to the race with the Australian Michael Booth taking the early for the lead only to be challenged later on by Silver and Bronze. A firm push by the Aussie on Lap 2 saw him stablish a solid lead for the victory.

Challenging the lead the whole race was dutch youngun Donato Freens. Not far adrift was Fernando Perez from Spain that looked solid all race to finish in third. With one of the best starts of the race was Kjell De Bruyn keeping pace with the race leader to finish 4th. With his best result on tour was a very happy Martin Teichmann making the top 5.

In the women’s race we had a similar situation as last weekend with the Top 4 rapidly separating from the rest. However it was the Italian talent Cecilia Pampinella that controlled the group for a impressive third consecutive win.

Much like in Berlin Silver and Bronze was decided on a frantic sprint to the line between the Swiss Anna Tschirky and Petronella van Malsen from Holland. In a powerful come back was Julia Mihailova from Latvia with a solid 4th in front of Tanja Ecker from Germany closing in the top 5.
