07 Aug - Swiss Cup, Savognin
Result: 1st !

After a hard weeks training, I was not expecting to have a stellar race this weekend. But my form is obviously at a really good level, as I managed to push myself really hard from start to finish to win my second ever Swiss cup (or Swisspower Cup, as the series is now called)
The start list was not too shabby, with the likes of Thomas Frischknecht, Ralf Naf, Sid Taberely and Florien Vogel. I decided from the start that I was going to push myself as hard as I could, just to get some good hard training. Near the top of the first climb the pace slackened, so I went to the front and opened a small gap. Even though I was hurting a lot, I stayed on the front and pushed as hard as I could for the next few kilometers. By the end of lap one I was away with Sid and Florien, and we all worked hard to hold off a big chasing pack.
I continued to keep pushing the pace, and on the forth lap, after a good acceleration, I noticed that I had opened a gap. From there I dug deep and went for it. Sid was hanging close for a long time, but finally he blew with a lap to go, and by the end I won comfortably with 1.30min.
