A "persistent flu" is forcing him to take a break, announced the best Bernese on his social media channels. Last week at the Bergkranzfest at Schwarzsee, Staudenmann and Giger were able to avoid each other.
However, a duel between the contenders for the title of king in Mollis GL in a year's time is still likely this season: they are both registered for the Schwägalp and the Bernese Cantonal in Burgdorf. At the end of the season, the ESV's anniversary Schwinget is also on the program.
On Sunday in Meilen, Zurich, Giger shares the role of favorite with Werner Schlegel, the winner of the Schwarzsee-Schwinget. In the first round, both will face a Swiss national: Giger against Mike Müllestein, Schlegel against Sven Schurtenberger.
Matthias Aeschbacher, the strongest Bernese in Meilen in the absence of Staudenmann, will face Armon Orlik. In the other top duels, Domenic Schneider faces Matthieu Burger and Damian Ott meets Andreas Döbeli - also pairings between a local and a guest.
