Renewed Fourcross Track in Leibstadt, Switzerland

Round 6 of the 2014 4X ProTour saw the riders heading to Leibstadt in Switzerland. Leibstadt is a small town in northern Switzerland, very close to the German border. The cycling club, VC Leibstadt, is totally focused on 4X racing and it was great to finally take a round of 4X ProTour there. The track is at the heart of the town and it is great to see a community getting behind the facility. A permanent Bensink start gate, pro line doubles, rhythm section, massive turns and onsite marquee where the races are shown live to the fans! It really is a great set up and well worth a visit if you're ever in the area.

On Friday, riders started arriving and getting to grips with the track. Local rider Simon Waldburger had made some changes to the track over the winter months and it definitely made the track more technical. The new pro line was tough, but the riders were getting it mastered by Friday night. Being Swiss National Day, the whole community came down to the track in the evening for a ceremony, hosted by the town's mayor. Bands, choirs, great food and fireworks signified Swiss Day and got the weekend started perfectly.

An awesome final race and a great showcase for 4X ProTour and the track in Leibstadt (Find the place on the map of Adrex.com Locations...) saw great racing from men as well as women. Here are the results:
