Sørlandet Grand Prix 2011

The grand Cycle Event Sørlandsparken Grand Prix 27`th July 2011. The race contained many of the worlds best cyclists, and it was wun by Philippe Gilbert, after a exciting sprint. Thor Hushovd came on 3`rd place, after trying to pull off the victory several times. The weather was really on it`s best this day, and a sunny sky with 27 degrees made up a perfect frame together with 30 000 entusiastic viewers.

During the race a sprint was put in, and this was wun by the Italian racer Alessandro Petacchi, and the price for the sprint was a BRUVIK black gold brown dial edtion watch. We congratulate Mr.Petacchi with his achivement and a new Norwegian watch!

In the evening there was held a great dinner party in regard of the event, organized by NorSpons with great food and good music. About 350 guests enjoyed this warm summer night, celebrating this sports event.

I had during this evening the pleasure of nice conversations with both Thor Hushovd and Alessandro Petacchi, about cycling, watches and everyday life. They are both top sportsmen by all means, and I am proud to know that they are both owners of a BRUVIK watch.

We already look forward to Sørlandet Grand Prix 2012.
