Sprint finish - Race Day 4

We had a lovely surprise when we unexpectedly met Liz and Peter Mulder at St. Cergue and again at the Sprint in Geneva. Below we pose in the sprint arena with Simone Niggli-Luder (Women's Sprint and World Cup winner 2010) being interviewed on the big screen in the background.


The World Cup sprint made for a thrilling final spectacle before our flight back to SA. In the men's Elite race the first 18 finished within one minute of each other, there were 5 shared places with second placed Graham Gristwood and Matthias Müller missing Daniel Hubmann's top spot by only 9 seconds. In the women's race Simone had another near-invincible run ahead of Helena Jansson with JWOC 2010 star Ida Bobach in third place.

We had a rainy, slippery, slightly slower run.

This then ends our fantastic tour.
