Ben Allen und Renata Bucher gewinnen XTERRA Malaysia
Beide sind 2013 kaum zu schlagen, ein Gesamttoursieg erscheint schon jetzt realistisch. Der Australier wird auch in Zittau an den Start gehen, von der „Swiss Miss“ gibt es noch keine Informationen. Allen and Slack win XTERRA Saipan Championship
Allen, Paterson win XTERRA PhilippinesLiloan, Cebu – XTERRA Warrior award winner Ben Allen from Australia and two-time XTERRA World Champion Lesley Paterson from Scotland captured the third edition of the XTERRA Philippines Championship at the seafront of Barangay Jubay in Liloan (Cebu Province) on Saturday. For Allen the victory marks a successful title defense and fourth straight win in the Western Pacific having swept last year’s Triple Crown of championship events in the Philippines, Saipan, and Guam. “Very proud and honored to defend my title here in the Philippines, loved every minute of it,” said Allen. He needed every minute of it, too, as South Africa’s Dan Hugo finished just 51 seconds back thanks to the fastest run split of the day. “Thrilling event, in many ways,” posted Hugo to his twitter account Saturday. “Two flat tires, a crash and a meltdown. Ran into lead, but lost to a class effort by Benny Allen.” It’s Hugo’s second straight second-place, having finished in same position at the XTERRA World Tour opener in South Africa last week. 2010 XTERRA Philippines Champion Sam Gardner from the UK posted the fastest bike split of the day to take third-place, with young-gun Bradley Weiss in fourth, and triathlon legend Olivier Marceau in fifth. Marceau, a three-time Olympian who finished 2nd here in the Philippines last year, didn’t arrive into Cebu until late Friday night due to travel delays.
