SCOTT11's Nick Beer and Floriane Pugin win IXS European Cup Finals in Châtel!

Just one week after the World Championships in Canada, our athletes had to get rid of their jet lag and be ready for the finals of the IXS European Cup in Châtel.

Perfect weather combined with a super fun race track in Châtel helped for a very nice atmosphere on the whole weekend.

Our athletes enjoyed racing with a little less pressure than at the world championships, but obviously, they went flat out when it counted. The moisture in the morning and in the evening, as well as the warm sun in the afternoon changed the conditions in almost every run and made things quite tricky.

Nick Beer was able to handle all the conditions well. Winning both, saturdays qualifier and sundays finals, brought him enough points to win the overall title of the IXS European Cup!

Floriane Pugin did it the same way and won the qualifier as well as the finals. Since she hadn't raced enough races of the series, the overall title was not in reach.

Freddy Hunziker was third Junior in the Elite field. Being first swiss junior should motivate him for next weekends swiss championships in Zermatt.
