Start of the season with a bang
They have done strong since their arrival in Italy. The two license holders of the Cercle d’Aviron de Lyon, world champions in 2018, won on the Varese lake after a disputed race. But in the end, the Lyon pair hit the end of their hull with more than two seconds ahead of the Dutch title holders at the finish line.
