Joel Roth announced it. After winning the bronze medal in Leogang a week ago, he says: “Logically, I have the title in mind. After my result in the World Cup, I certainly don’t have to hide. “
And the 21-year-old from Aargau was right. From the beginning he was able to walk away in the home race of the European Championship together with his teammate Albin Vital and the Italian Juri Zanotti. At some point the Italian was left behind, the Swiss driving as a duo before Roth pulled away at the decisive moment of the final lap – the European Championship.
The 21-year-old won at Monte Ceneri five seconds ahead of the 22-year-old from Graubünden and 27 seconds ahead of the Italian Juri Zanotti.
The European title in Ticino means a lot to Aargauer Roth, he says. “He was really good on the track. The climate is ideal, it is dry. And you heard the few viewers who can be here really well. As a result, they put even more pressure on us. “
Roth, 21, is competing in the U23s for another season. He hopes that a family calendar will be possible again in 2021. “This year was already very exhausting due to the many postponements. It wasn’t always easy to get motivated to exercise, ”he says. «I’m a bit happy about that, the season is over. And I hope there will be more races next year. “But first of all, Roth and Vital have to celebrate.” I think something is possible tonight, “says Roth and smiles.
Perhaps there are more Swiss hits to celebrate. Today there are still elite races for women and men.
