AND
Operators Club Final 2017
This October, Volvo Construction Equipment once again pitted EMEA’s best and brightest operators against one another in an epic battle of speed, precision and technique that is the Operators Club Final 2017.
Ryan Sadler and Russell Holden, who placed third and fourth at Hillhead 2016, represented Great Britain at the final competing against 29 finalists from 16 countries at the Volvo Ocean Race Village in Alicante, Spain for the ultimate round of gruelling challenges. The operator with the quickest time – taking into account any penalties for mistakes – would be named the Operators Club champion 2017.
The event took place 24 hours before the first leg of the 2017 Volvo Ocean Race, which began at the same location and this year, the Operators Club Final was part of the official Race Village program.
The final began at 9am on Saturday 21 October and SMT GB were reporting live from the event across social media. For more information on how the GB competitors performed head over to Twitter and Facebook for all the updates as they happened.
Johannes Unger of Austria took home the trophy this year with Sascha Moog of Germany finishing second and Ueli Hunziker of Switzerland finishing in third place.
Well done to the GB champions Ryan and Russell who both performed extremely well and showed great team spirit throughout. The full story and final results will be included in the next edition of THE VOICE.
All the pictures from the event can be found on social media and we’ll share our favourites in the next edition of THE VOICE.
