Polish champion <strong>Slawomir Lukasik<\/strong> (Hiag Data NS Bikes) finished third just .02 behind Vauh. Slovak champion <strong>Adam Roj\u010dek<\/strong> (CTM Racing Team) followed in 4th place (that\u2019s right, National Champions in top 4 spots) and another Slovenian <strong>Toma\u017e Ora\u017eem<\/strong> (BATT Team) in 5th.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luka Berginc<\/strong> finished second in the semi-final run and collected enough points to afford a crashed and 36th place in his final run to still take the overall series title.<\/p>\n<p>In women\u2019s race <strong>Horvat<\/strong> was 8.77 faster than <strong>Primo\u017ei\u010d<\/strong> in second place, junior rider <strong>Naja Stipani\u010d<\/strong> (Blackthorn) followed in third.<\/p>\n<p>In men\u2019s UCI category <strong>\u017dak Gomil\u0161\u010dek<\/strong> (Sinter Brakes Team) finished as top junior in 11th place and so confirmed his overall title.

I\u2019m really happy I still won,\u201d said Sehnal who won the iXS European Cup in \u0160pi\u010dak this year and finished 32nd in La Bresse World Cup race so he says this is his best season so far. \u201cThe conditions were different that in April\u2019s iXS EDC race and some turns were also done differently so I can\u2019t compare the times. I\u2019m also here to train on the track which may host a World Cup race next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vauh was happy with his final run and also announced an important decision: \u201cI was thinking of Monika at the start, this run was for her, for fast healing and for will to go on. I had a long season, 17 races I think. Working, training and resting don\u2019t go together. I is possible that this was my last race. But if Maribor gets to host a World Cup round in 2019 and I get to train over the winter then I may consider another one.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>In other categories<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Marko Niemiz<\/strong> (Sinter Brakes Team) won another U17 race in front of teammate <strong>\u017dan Pir\u0161<\/strong>, Croatian <strong>Robert Ki\u0161ak<\/strong> (KK Jastrebarsko &#8211; WD40 Bike) was third.
