Huge crowds and 317 racers from 20 nations set the scene for a perfect race weekend at the iXS European Downhill Series round 2 in Todtnau, Germany. This leg of the iXS European Downhill Cup was run under ideal conditions. The weather was perfect, the 3km course with a drop of 320 metres was in excellent condition and there was a top-class field.
Marcus Klausmann (Ghost ATG) set the best time in seeding with a 3:44 on Saturday.
Then in the final on Sunday, local hero Noah Grossmann (Mag41) laid down the first benchmark time with 3:59. Because of a technical problem during the seeding run, Grossman was the first to go in the elite category and so was able to enjoy being in the hot seat for quite some time.
Of course, there was no way his time would hold up forever, and once the top 20 were underway, times started to tumble. Joshua Button (AUS - SC-Intense) was the first to go under 3:50, which was enough to give him third place in the end.
Nick Beer (Scott 11), Brook MacDonald (MS Evil) and Marcus Klausmann were considered the most likely victors. Klausmann was last to go and was really fast until one of his tyres came off its rim on one of the final bends. Beer came second and was only beaten by MacDonald, whose time of 3:45 was good enough to give him victory.
In the elite women's race, team boss Claudio Caluorie of Scott 11 was able to celebrate a double victory. First place went to Floriane Pugin (Scott 11), whose winning margin over second-placed Emilie Siegenthaler (Scott 11), the current Swiss champion, was more than 11 seconds. Miriam Ruchti (SC Nukeproof) was third.
The fastest of the Masters was Wilfred van de Haterd (Bike Service Eisenach) ahead of Samuel Aklin (Bikegarage DH Team) and Nino Antic (Giant), who has been out due to injury for a long time. The Under 17 category was won in convincing fashion by Gregoire Pazdziorko (Barracuda Company) with a winning margin of 10 seconds. He finished ahead of Julian Hibben (Rose) and Jan Freyser (Zonenschein Fly).
