With the EURO TOUR in Nordhausen and the SUP Alps Trophy the day after only one car hour south of Nordhausen many SUP Race Lovers paddled 2 races. It was mostly the German elite that made the trip from the EURO TOUR to the SUP Alps Trophy, which is kind of unfortunate as the next race was only one hour away and on the following day.
Men Longdistance
Germanys Normen Weber capitalized on the opportunity to get 2 great results over the weekend and with a 1st place at the Lago di Alpi and a 4th place in Nordhausen he moved straight into spot number 5. Donato Freens remains in the top spot solidifying his position with another podium at the EURO TOUR. His biggest contender from earlier this season, Ludovic Teulade, seems to have other plans than SUP racing right now and the gap between the two keeps growing. The big winner of the EURO TOUR in Nordhausen was Noic Garioud moving up 4 spots and if he would have gone to the Lago di Alpi he might have moved up even more.
Michael Booth finally made the worlds top ten with his 2nd place in Germany and so did Manuel Lauble

Women Longdistance
Esperanza won yet another EURO TOUR and continues do solidify her lead over the rest of the field. In fact as far as the EURO TOUR rankings go nobody will be able to catch her anymore. The race behind Esperanza how ever remains suspenseful. Cecilia Pampinella moved up one spot with her 2nd place in Nordhausen, but Anna Tschirky remains in 2nd place but her points advantage is getting smaller. Duna Gordillo was absent in Nordhausen and therefore is getting pushed down on to the 4th spot.
The new arrival this week is Tanja Ecker who paddeld 2 great results this weekend. She came in 5th at the EURO TOUR and 2nd at the SUP Alps Trophy, that moved her up 8 spots and into the top 10.
