Absalon speeds to Worlds warm-up win at Swiss Racer Bikes Cup

With just a few days to go until the start of the world championships in Champery, Switzerland, some of the favorites raced before a large crowd during the final of the Swiss Racer Bikes Cup in Muttenz. Foreigners triumphed in both elite categories with Julien Absalon of France winning the elite men's race and Annie Last of Great Britain taking the elite women's race. Lukas Flückiger in second and Kathrin Stirnemann in third were the best Swiss riders in each of those events.
