There are two main routes. Most of the riders aimed for Checkpoint Kamor first. The rest is heading the longer way to Checkpoint Bischofalp. One of these riders is Ben Koch (2nd place at Badlands) who is riding at a furious pace and with a very lightweight setup towards Elm.
At Kamor there was leader group of five riders. Luca Widmer, Lorenz Inauen (local from Appenzell – riding in his backyard), Thomas Schlatter, Raphael Ottiger and Lucas Rüesch.
In the womens race Alessia Sträuli was first to reach Kamor (9th overall!) and is already back down in the Rhyne valley. Next up at Kamor were Franziska Schöni, Sibylle Mumenthaler and Gabriella Antal!
Rain is gone and first glimpses of blue sky are out. From now on we don’t expect any more rain and a beautiful sunny (and hot) weekend!!
