European Championships in Ajdovscina (Slovenia); review |
|
The European Championships 4X in Slovenia has come to an end. The officials decided to cancel the finals because of the state the track was in, after suffering from heavy rain. The organisation, the spectators and most of the competitors didn't agree with this outcome but had to rest their case. The results of the qualifications are the final results, meaning that Prokop and Molcik are the new European Champions.
What supposed to be a great day for 4X in Europe ended in a dissapointment. Joost couldn't defend his title properly. In qualification he had some technical problems with the chain of his bike. Still he managed to set the 9th time.

Joey van Veghel (Netherlands) Women: 1. Molcik Anita (Austria) 2. Rachel Seydoux (Switzerland) 3. Lucia Oetjen (Switzerland) 4. Anneke Beerten (Netherlands)
