Despite some absences due to injury, the elite race is not lacking in excitement. The three qualifying heats on the BMX track, which is famous throughout Europe, are already a tough battle for the top positions. In the end, local hero Adrian Weiss came out on top in the final run. He won ahead of the reigning Swiss champion Simon Waldburger and last year's winner Benjamin Kistner.

In the junior category, Lucia Oetjen, who has World Cup experience, will be competing in the grand final alongside three u17 riders. As the only elite rider, she has to compete with the first highest junior category. On her way to the final, Oetjen leaves many a strong u17 athlete behind her. In the final of the best four, however, she ultimately had to finish behind Luca Henzi, Fabian Gärtner and Lars Evers.

Lucas Huppert won the race in the u15 boys' and u17 girls' categories. Janosch Klaus and the German Lars Pfeifer were left behind. With Nathalie Tschanz in fourth place, a female rider also makes it into the grand final. "Female power" is the order of the day in the u13 boys' and u15 girls' categories. Anna Newkirk fought a fierce duel with local hero Eddy Massow and came out on top. Tidiane Haller finishes in third place.

The 3rd round of the Bergamont-Swiss-4Cross-Cup will be held on Sunday, July 6th on the BMX track in Waldshut-Gurtweil. The professional athletes will use the break of around a month for what are probably the most important races of the year. In addition to three rounds of the "4X Pro Tour" world series, the World Championships and the German Championships will also take place in June.
