Twelve combinations came back in the jump-off and it was the speedy Italian who clocked a ultrafast round aboard his AES stallion Caspar 232 (v. Berlin). It took them 50.30 seconds to stay ahead of Autrian rider Christian Rhomberg, who came dangerously close with his Saphyr des Lacs (v. Mr Blue). The pair crossed the finish line just 0.6 seconds later and finished in second place.
