TOUGH BREAK FOR ARMILLAS AFTERWINNING
SKI GP2
Nacho Armillas’ 2017World and European title aspirations were dashed
after breaking his left leg on the final day.
The Spanish ace crashed heavily on lap 6 during the final Moto in Ski GP1,
suffering a triple break to his [left] femur and was taken to hospital to be
operated on.
It was a crushing blow for Armillas, who earlier [on the Sunday]
completed the perfect start to the defence of his GP2 title, sealing overall
victory with maximum points after rival Kevin Reiterer was disqualified
for a non-conforming Ski. Second place went to Svae Anderssen, with
Estonian rider Marten Manni in third.
BRILLIANT BORGSTROM TOP IN SKI LADIES
Jonna Brogrstom sent a clear message to her world and European rivals
that she very much intends to be in the fight for titles this year after
producing a brilliant string of performances to take overall victory in the
opening round.
