Sebastian Hallmann secured a comfortable win in the men’s race, stating that “… the race was not as tough as some of the training sessions in the last weeks”. In the 3rd of 8 rounds he settled in first place and continuously increased his lead. Steffen Uliczka and Jan Förster took the minor places on the podium.
In the womens race Julia Viellehner took first place ahead of Birte Bultmann and the two Juniors Ingalena Heuck and Julia Hiller.
