The blistering combination of London Knights’ Martin Fuchs (SUI) and Nicola Philippaerts (BEL) landed pole position for today’s GCL showdown in Berlin ahead of home city team Berlin Eagles.
Martin Fuchs said: “We are just in the lead only half way through so we need two more clear rounds tomorrow. It is always our goal to be winning and to close the gap to the leaders. We have three good riders and good horses here, so we will decide soon with our team manager Ben Maher.”
The Knights are third in the tight 2019 GCL championship race on 209 points behind Shanghai Swans on 218 points and the leaders Miami Celtics only three points ahead on 221. Nicola Philippaerts said: “Tomorrow we will speak as a team and make the best plan, but we haven't decided who will ride tomorrow yet.”
