SWIX SKI CLASSICS. Anders Aukland (Team Xtra Personnel) did a great battle in this season’s first Swix Ski Classics race and the 46th edition of the Czech long distance ski race Jizerska Padesatka. After a close race with Lukas Bauer (Team Coop) and 50 tough kilometers in a hilly track Anders Aukland  showed his muscles three kilometers before the finish line and he double polled away from Lukas Bauer who finished second. Lukas Bauer and Anders Aukland followed each other from the first up hill and cooperated most of the race. Jørgen Aukland (Team Xtra Personnel) did a strong second half of the race and got third place double poling the entire race.
