A leading group of four formed early on in the women's race with Haley Batten, Savillia Blunk (both USA), Jenny Rissveds (SWE) and Switzerland's Alessandra Keller. In the third of eight laps, Linda Indergand briefly joins them, but then loses some of her effort and positions.

The quartet rides lonely circles, sometimes with escape attempts by Jenny Rissveds and Haley Batten, but without success. Blunk and Keller kept catching up. Linda Indergand also catches up with the first chasers, with Jolanda Neff and Cape Epic winner Nicole Koller in tow. The latter even rode onto the podium at times.

Alessandra Keller and Savillia Blunk were no longer able to keep up on the climbs, but were able to catch up again on the descents. The leading group remained together until the final lap. Then it is once again Haley Batten who attempts a breakaway, parried by Jenny Rissveds, who tries to counterattack. But Batten is too strong, comes back and immediately follows up. This time the attack is successful and the 25-year-old wins ahead of Rissveds and Blunk. "I hardly have any words. You train hard all winter, but you don't know how it's going to turn out. And then it goes so well, it's just madness," said the overwhelmed Batten.

Alessandra Keller was delighted with fourth place, with Anne Terpstra from the Netherlands in fifth. Jolanda Neff finishes sixth, with Nicole Koller riding to her best World Cup result immediately behind her. Linda Indergand finished tenth, while Lia Schrievers was the best German, riding to 18th place.

Tension from start to finish

Shortly after the start of the men's race, one of the top favorites, Christopher Blevins, crashed. He thought he was back in last place, but instead Mathias Flückiger was already in the lead. This also includes Nino Schurter and Filippo Colombo, as well as the two Frenchmen Victor Koretzky and Jordan Sarrou and Luca Schwarzbauer. On the second lap, however, Flückiger gets stuck on a climb, has to get off his bike and loses another 15 positions in one fell swoop.

On the fourth lap, Chilean Martin Vidaurre tries his luck and distances himself from the eight-man chasing group by 15 seconds by the start of the fourth lap. However, the high pace and the selective course tore them apart, and Colombo was one of the riders who fell away. Just as the six chasers around Nino Schurter are closing in on the Chilean again, Mathias Flückiger is also making his way back into the top 10.

The last third of the race has begun, Vidaurre has been caught and the leading group has grown to ten men. Now the elite newcomers Charlie Aldridge (GBR) and Adrien Boichis (FRA), the Dane Simon Andreassen and Filippo Colombo have rejoined the group. However, this large group did not last long. On the seventh of nine laps, Victor Koretzky makes a determined move and immediately pulls the group apart. Nino Schurter, among others, also pays tribute to the pace, while Colombo is able to stay in the much smaller chasing group.

The last lap has begun and the lead of the Frenchman has shrunk somewhat. As if that wasn't enough, the chain falls off his chainring. Koretzky resumes the race in fifth place and soon closes the gap again. After this turnaround, Filippo Colombo now leads the race, but Simon Andreassen takes the sceptre shortly afterwards. Now Koretzky tries to spit in the soup of the Dane and the Swiss, which he only partially succeeds in doing. Andreassen takes his second World Cup victory, while his team colleague Alan Hatherly snatches third place. "It's really nice to win another World Cup. It's been a while since my first win," said the visibly exhausted and upset Andreassen, struggling for words.

Filippo Colombo finished fourth and thus climbed onto the podium once again, with Nino Schurter in sixth place. Max Foidl achieved the best Austrian result in twelfth place, while David List was the best German in 14th place. Luca Schätti also produced a small surprise with 19th place, the third-best Swiss result and also his best World Cup result. Mathias Flückiger finished two places behind him. With Timon Rüegg in 28th place, another Swiss athlete achieves a new personal best.

U23: Everything as before

Kira Böhm is unbeatable. After two World Cup victories in short track and one in cross country, the German U23 rider also took an early lead in the second cross country World Cup of the year. Together with Canada's Emilly Johnston and Italy's Valentina Corvi, Böhm thought she was in good company until the last of the six laps. However, the German didn't let it come down to a sprint and launched the decisive attack for her fourth victory in a row.
Johnston came second, Corvi third. This time Ginia Caluori finishes next to the podium. A good fourth place for the Swiss rider. Lea Huber (SUI) rides to ninth place.

Like Böhm, Riley Amos is not about to let his winning streak come to an end. The American shared the lead with his compatriot Bjorn Riley and Switzerland's Finn Treudler until the third lap. One lap later, Bjorn Riley had to let his two colleagues go. Treudler holds Amos' rear wheel until the penultimate of the seven laps, but then the serial winner gets rid of the Swiss and adds another victory to his palmares. 
Behind Treudler, it is not Bjorn Riley who rides into third place. It was the Brazilian Alex Malacarne who finished third and was celebrated more than the winner by the home crowd. Luke Wiedmann rides to another very good Swiss result in fifth place. Wiedmann's compatriot Dario Lillo finished eighth and Paul Schehl was the best German in ninth place.
