Who will be the 40 lucky winners who will have the honor of lining up in the long-awaited Rolex Grand Prix on Sunday, the flagship event of the CHI Geneva?
If Martin Fuchs, winner of the last two editions, Ben Maher (Olympic champion), Peder Fredricson (medalist at the Olympic Games), Marlon Modolo Zanotelli (double gold medalist at the Pan American Games), Henrik von Eckermann and Jérôme Guery (medalists at the Worlds) thus André Thieme (medalist in the Europeans) already have their ticket in their pocket, that there will still be three tickets awarded this Friday evening during the Top 10, the thirty other riders still have to win their sesame on two evenings where we will establish a classification .
The first event took place this Thursday in the Geneva Trophy with eighteen zero-fault contenders who scored important points in view of qualification. While the victory went to the Brazilian Marlon Modolo Zanotelli (already qualified), the Jurassian Steve Guerdat (8th) – just behind Martin Fuchs (with the young Comissar Pezi) – should be once once more at the start of this Grand Prix that he has already won three times.
Edouard Schmitz, Bryan Balsiger, Julien Epaillard and many others will have the opportunity to obtain their sesame this Friday (at 2:15 p.m.) during the Prix des Communes genevoises. CMA
