'Sit down, please!'

Whoever is allowed to accept this request must have been underway at high speed. On this wonderful red sofa in the Lido Rapperswil the current leader of the sprint race on August 5 is allowed to sit down. The organizers have searched for a well-suited opportunity to sit so that the Swiss TV can catch the hopeful and anxious faces of the intermediate leaders easier during its live broadcast. The director WM Arena, Peter Oehy, finally found it at the company of his employer in Winterthur. The sofa is currently still situated in the entrance hall of the company Hunziker & Brothers, Inc.
