TM's Puzar too k runner-up honors. 1 tw ist ed m y left knee in a corner and had a lot of pain all the w ay to the finish . I had settled for second until Sandro had pr oblem s." Af te r 30 m inutes , TM rider Puzar suddenly slowed d rama tically. " I suddenly lost a ll the po wer," Puza r said . "It was o n the big d ownhill jump. My front w heel land ed o n a big rock a nd it was thro w n u p onto my pipe. Look, it's mad e a dent as big as a tennis ball ." Still, Puzar hung on to second, and VuilIemin was a very distant thi rd - but what a ride that was from 18th. " I' m happy with my scores today," VuilIemin said. " I could hav e lost a lot of points with my kn ee , so 4-3 mot os is good . It has kept m e in th e champions hip chase." Th e battle for the pl acin gs between Phil ippe Dupasquier, Belometti, Federici, Nunn, Paul Malin, Luigi Seguy and Luca Cherubini - and, a t the end, Dobb was ph enomenal. P osit ions cha nged e very lap be fore Dupa squier fo ught clea r with a few laps to go. But fo urth wa s not to be his. "Malin made a goo d pa ss under me in a co rne r at th e top of th e tra c k," Dupas quier said. " He deserved it" The Brit had mo re than doubled his season's total. J "Finally, a rough tra ck wher e I could u se my rid in g skills," Do bb said . "It's just a pity I go t pushed out in the first turn."
