The sixth round of the Swiss Enduro Series was the series finale. On the challenging terrain in the legendary Lötschental, the 350 or so riders had to prove not only their technical skills but also their endurance.

In the elite men's category, the race was relentless. Tim Bratschi dominated the day, overcoming a puncture on stages 3 and 4. His tireless determination secured him first place with a remarkable time of 25 minutes and 12.71 seconds after four stages

Mirco Widmer showed impeccable consistency and finished a close second, just 22.22 seconds behind. Igor Müller fought his way to third place despite a crash on Stage 3 after setting the fastest time of the day on Stage 4.

Intense battle in the elite women

The podium in the elite women's category was fiercely contested between Franca Rudolph, Claudia Grassi and Géraldine Meyrat. Franca Rudolph was in the lead all day and secured first place with a time of 31 minutes and 32.87 seconds. Claudia Grassi fought her way back into second place despite a heavy crash on Stage 2, which initially dropped her to third place, and overtook Géraldine Meyrat.

Series overall winner

The showdown in the Lötschental also marked the crowning of the overall winners of the series. Tim Bratschi's unstoppable momentum throughout the season led to him securing the coveted series win for 2023. Delia Da Mocogno, a rising star known for her spectacular racing style, secured the overall gold medal without competing in the race. Da Mocogno instead rode to the podium in her first Enduro World Cup race in Châtel.
