Christoph Sauser made the smart choice of riding a Specialized Epic with Brain technology and captured his first UCI world championship title by winning this weekend in Verviers, Belgium.“The feeling of being World Champion is indescribable,” said Sauser after the finish of the nearly four-and-a-half hour race. “There were tears in my eyes when I crossed the line.”
Since 1999, the man from Windigen has been Mr. Consistent, with 11 World Cup wins, 2 overall World Cup titles and an Olympic medal. However, a world championship title is the one goal that had eluded the 31-year-old Swiss star.
From the start of the race, Sauser knew that he was on good form. “Right for the beginning, I had it right away,” said Christoph.
The race was decided after front runner Ralf Naf experienced a technical problem that took him out of the lead group. Naf’s demise was the signal for Sauser to distance himself from the rest of the field. He ultimately went on to win by over five minutes.
