Nino Schurter cheated the opponent in the end
European Champion for the first time at the age of 34 – Nino Schurter cheated Titouan Carod (behind him) at the finish.
When Schurter started the final sprint after a blatant overtaking maneuver, there was no more counterattack for Titouan Carod (in blue).
Nino Schurter won his first European title in Ticino. The eight-time world champion won at Monte Tamaro ahead of Titouan Carod (FRA) and his compatriot Mathias Flückiger.
Nino Schurter’s debut at the European Championship, which he usually skips in normal years, amounts to a rematch. The 34-year-old from Graubünden and long-time dominator was left without a win at this year’s World Cup and World Championship.
A crash on the short track before the first World Cup race at Nove Mesto was the source of a series of unfortunate circumstances. Now Schurter gave the correct answer: In the glorious fall weather, he pushed the pace from the middle of the race. Schurter provoked the decision shortly before the end with a cheeky maneuver on a technical step.
Filippo Colombo was unlucky. The 22-year-old from Bironno, who is just a few kilometers from the European Championship track, was brave at the top until a puncture threw him back. Colombo completes his first season with the elite. In the sub-23 he was second in the World Cup twice.
