Huge Win for Billy Twomey

[lucretia]

the Irish lad just won the Grand Prix in St Gallen, the prize fund for the class is 300'000 swiss francs. he was the only double clear. last years winner Christina Liebherr was second after what now turns out to be an expensive time fault in the first round on No Mercy. Denis lynch was about 8th I think on Latinus but no GB riders made it to the second round.

Gather it rained a lot there, just as it had here. I wonder why Markus ended his career with a speed class rather than the GP?

 

[lucretia]

Your guess as good as mine. possibly so the others could let him win.....did he?
and yes it does often rain in switzerland so i would not be surprised.

No, Granie had a fence down. St Gallen is beautiful but both times I went (for the European Championships) it poured with rain early in the show, and later the weather became glorious. They lost the 1st day of the Europeans when Peter won the Individual title, but I understand they've put a new foundation surface in since then to improve drainage.
