In the ETU Junior Cup, Wian Sullwald of South Africa won his first European race of 2012 in a frantic finish.

Just eight seconds separated the podium in the Junior Men’s race and there was just twenty seconds between the top six finishers.

Jelle Geens (BEL) and Kristian Blummenfelt (NOR) did just enough to finish second and third respectively and edge out last year’s champion Rapahel Montoya (FRA).

In the Junior Women’s race, Ivana Kuriačková (SVK) secured a first ever Junior title with a comfortable victory.

Renata Fuchs (HUN) and Jeanne Lehair (FRA) completed the podium.
