Süss earns women's title

At the Swiss national marathon championships, the Multivan Merida Biking Team scored a double: Andreas Kugler won the race held in Medrisio with Ralph Näf finishing in second after an excellent display of teamwork. Kugler led for a huge portion of the race, riding all alone up front pretty often.

"When Ralph caught up with me on the descent from the Monte Generoso, I knew that he could back me up in case of any mechanical problem. That's when I started to believe in my chances to win," said Kugler at the finish. When Näf finally could not follow another acceleration, Kugler pulled away and built up a two-minute lead.
