Philipp Walsleben (BKCP-Powerplus) and Hanka Kupfernagel (Itera-Stevens) both defended their respective titles in the German National Championships.

Christoph Pfingsten (Van Vliet EBH Elshof) and Hannes Genze rounded out the men’s podium. The 23 year-old Walsleben is one to watch as he continues to improve in GvA, Superprestige and World Cup competitions.

As expected, Sabine Spitz and Sabrina Schweizer proved Kupfernagel’s closest competitors in the women’s race. The gap from Schweizer back to Gesa Bruchmann in fourth was over two minutes.

Yannick Eckmann (Hot Tubes), a dual American/German citizen who lives in Boulder, Colorado, and once again attended the Euro Cross Camp this year, got the silver medal in the Juniors race behind Silvio Herklotz. Julian Lehmann was third.
