(google translate)Race photocopy the Val di sole one that was staged in Bern ... but the ending is changed! Nino Schurter has forced the pace from the outset and only Julien Absalon was able to follow him with Marco Fontana (Italy), which remains one of the leading pair and the chasing pack. Schurter takes advantage of every climb to attack, and at some point it seems that Absalon suffer but on the next lap, when missing 2 at the end, Absalon (France) and accelerates Schurter (Switzerland) fails to follow giving a crash.
Julien continues to push and galvanized by the failure of the Swiss get to earn nearly 2 'on the world champion. Marco Fontana has completed a great race conducted for the most part in solitary because they do not always raced in pursuit of the leading pair. Closes 3rd. Immediately behind him many athletes comeback with Lukas Fluckiger (4th) and José Antonio Hermida (5th).
