La svizzera Renata Bucher vince l’XTERRA Philippines 2014
Sabato 15 marzo a Cebu si è corsa la quarta edizione dell’XTERRA Philippines, seconda delle 8 tappe dell’XTERRA Asia-Pacific Tour.
In campo maschile, netto successo per il sudafricano Dan Hugo che s’invola in mtb e vince davanti al connazionale Brad Weiss.
A completare il podio, l’australiano Ben Allen, che ha avuto parecchio da fare con diverse forature sulle ruote grasse, ma che ha caparbiamente terminato la sua prova.
In campo femminile, vittoria della svizzera Renata Bucher: la campionessa elvetica, seconda sette giorni prima nell’XTERRA Motatapu in Nuova Zelanda, si impone precedendo la storica rivale, l’austriaca Carina Wasle, anche lei veterana del circuito.
La terza posizione è conquistata dalla giapponese Mieko Carey che raggiunge e supera la britannica Jacqui Slack nei 10K finali, in cui fa segnare il secondo split di giornata.
