For a long time in the race, however, it looked like a top 10 finish for Simon Vitzthum from the Rhine Valley. After the middle of the race, however, he increasingly loses positions and ends up in 23rd place. The race goes the other way round for Nicolas Fischer from Solothurn and Andrin Beeli from the Grisons Oberland. They start the race in a poor position, but still end up in 16th and 19th place respectively. Fischer is correspondingly satisfied in the finish area: "It went really well. I was able to overtake a few riders at the end. I'm the best Swiss rider for the first time, which is good for the European Championship qualification."

At the front, however, others put their stamp on the race. The race remained completely open until the last lap. It wasn't until two kilometers before the finish that five riders were able to break away and finally it came down to a sprint between Gay, Bertsch and Ganier. Gay has the greatest reserves of strength and takes his first World Cup victory.
