The men's elite race was very tactical at the start. A leading group consisting of Vital Albin, Andri Frischknecht, Joel Roth and Reto Indergand rode ahead of the field together. Vital Albin shifted up a gear on the third lap. Only Frischknecht was able to follow him. But just a little later, Albin of the Thömus Maxon team made everything clear and pulled away.

Frischknecht finished directly behind him in second place and remains the overall leader. Joel Roth from the newly founded BixS Performance Race Team rode across the finish line in third place.

Forchini with first win of the season

With a strong performance, Ramona Forchini from the JB Brunex Superior Factory Team took her first victory of the season in the elite women's category. After the rider from Toggenburg suffered a technical defect on the first lap, she put the pedal to the metal and quickly caught up with the leading group. She then continued to power down the demanding course and rode to a confident victory in Savognin.

Seraina Leugger completed the podium in second and Ginia Caluori in third.

Challenging course, also due to the weather

After the successful premiere in 2021, the PROFFIX Swiss Bike Cup entered its second round in Val Surses in 2022. The local organization team spared no effort and presented the Val Surses event with an attractive route. This turned into a slippery affair due to the heavy rainfall on Saturday.
