Insul Germany- Patrick Switzer has earned the number one qualifying position for the second World Cup in a row. The winner of last weekends Kozakov Challenge set the quickest time of both qualifying runs. Saturday's second qualifying session conditions were not as ideal as those on Friday. Most of the riders who qualified in the top 10 on Friday were not able to improve their times. Switzer ran a 2:24.824 on Friday and a 2:25.940 on Saturday. Both runs were the quickest of the respective sessions.
