Pius Schwisser take sunny win in Costa Del Sol Grand Prix

It was an afternoon with great sports at the Costa del Sol Tour in Mijas who wrapped up the week with a Grand Prix over 1.45m. Sanne Thijssen and fifteen Ulena (v. Baloubet du Rouet) seem to feel at home in Mijas. Earlier this year put the duo already several top prices down in the Costa del Sol Spring Tour. And today during the jump-off with ten combinations the pair put the time to beat of of 35.18 seconds on the clock. For a long time none could touch the time of the Dutch youngter. But eventually it was Richard Howley, who had already claimed three podium spots today, that marginally beat Thijssen with his Chinook (v. Tygo) by clocking 34.28 seconds. Yet it was the Pius Schwizer claiming another victory as one of the last to go with his stunningly fast PSG Future (v. Cash and Carry). In 34.21 seconds the Swiss flew around the course claiming first place leaving Howley lagging behind on second place by a few hundredths of a second. Meanwhile home riders Inma Roquet Autonell and Iker Jauregi Apraiz divided the honours for fourth and fifth place.
