SsangYong ZURICH WIC 2007
季節的に６月のヨーロッパは最高・・・でもって７月８日までＷＩＣが毎週開催されるのでスケーターは休む暇がないほど忙しいと思います。この１７日の６戦目が全１２レースの折り返しになるわけですが、ランキング上位選手の多くがクラッシュ体験して参加者は満身創痍のようです。この連戦が終わると、気持ちはコロンビアのＣａｌｉ世界戦へ移ります。(ZURICH WICにアメリカからJOEY MANTIAが参加)今や Timmerman Powerslide エース格 Shinki Yamamoto は１６位、 Nachi Shinozuka はチームメイトの６位、８位につづく１２位でした。
Switzerland. Zurich is one of the cities worldwide with the highest quality of life.
Whether you take the charming old town with the churches, the 500 clubs and bars for the night life or the promenade along the lake side - Switzerland’s biggest city is hot! Hot is also the Zurich World Inline Cup on June 17th 2007 with its 8 kilometres racetrack travelling around the lake basin. Hot, because the air over the main streets shimmers due to the very summery temperatures and hot because all top athletes take place at the race over 35 kilometres. The main traffic axes are brought to a standstill, the expo is located on the Sechseläutenplatz, directly in front of the opera house. A hellishly hot event, with a lot of emotions!

Superstar Mantia Hits Zurich
Hi Skaters,
The current World speedskating Superstar JOEY MANTIA flies into Zurich tomorrow, already interest in the race is very high, with a SSangyong Rexton Vechicle for the mens winner & a Ssangyong Action Vechile for the ladies winner.
With the last minute inclusion of the World masters there is sure to be added interest.
A big question being asked is, that Joey's team manager Dough Glass is also flying in, is it for Business reasons, or after the individual World title, he never won as a competitor.

ZURICH World Inline Cup (SIC) Results
予想通り・・・Joey Mantia 余裕のポーズで優勝です。ラスト１００メートルで第一集団に残っていれば勝てるスーパーチャージャーが付いているようです。写真で見ると先頭集団はMatter Yellow１色、女子でもMPCより優勢だったようです。 なお、女子３位でフィニッシュしたMichaela Neuling (Sportvital Rollerblade World)はチームの反則行為によるものとして順位を４位に下げられました。余談ですが、大都市にしては路面がひどかったと嘆いているスケーターも居るようですが、この程度は普通なのだそうです。以前のBaselでクラッシュするスケーター達のビデオを参考までに見てください。

Zurich race report
Last sunday took place the 3rd stage of the Swiss Inline Cup and the 6th of the WIC.
Same circuit as the previous years and as usually the race was going to take place in the sun. The skaters had a 4 and a half laps ride. In the first laps many skaters tried to attack but nobody really made a big gap due to the high average speed of the bunch.
In the last last Giovanni Conte and Dj Nation tried again. they got a quite a huge gap but one guy from Rb and Yann Guyader shased them, they got caught 2k to the end. In the last turn arround there were a massive crash arround the 30th place of the pack with arround 15 guys crashing and out for the final sprint.
The TNT guys took the lead in the last k followed buy Powerslide , Matter and RB. 500 metres to the end Joey Mantia just behind the TNT guys decided to pass and nobody could really keep up. Behind the bunch sprint was a little messy with quite a lot of grabbing and skaters snaking in the last 200 meters.
The Matter team with the 4 skaters together passed a lot of skaters in the last 200 meters but were not able to win as Nelson and Yann did not have enough place to pass Jorges that did a huge and really fast leadout, congratulation to him by the way.
They finally got 3rd,4th and 6th all together on the finishing line behind the fast kiwi belonging to the Powerslide family Kalon Dobbin that caught his first podium this year on a WIC event.
This is a great succes for the Matter 110 wheels and the XXX frame, and we are all expecting for more great results with those innovative products.
We have to notice that since Incheon nobody can really keep up the skaters skating on Matter Wheels either on track or road with 3 wins in the last 3 World cups.
