It is probably one of the most intense races of this year's Enduro World Series. The dry and thin mountain air in Zermatt makes it even more difficult for the riders to maintain strength and concentration on the five technically demanding stages. Frenchwoman Isabeau Courdurier manages this once again and also wins the last of the eight races.

Only the Canadian Andreane Lanthier Nadeau was able to snatch the stage win from Courdurier on the final descent, securing second place ahead of the German champion Raphaela Richter.

With fifth place, Anita Gehrig achieves a strong result on home soil. Despite the support of the Swiss fans, she made a few mistakes on stages three and five. In the end, she is satisfied with her performance: "Of course I would have liked to have finished on the podium here. But in view of this difficult season, I'm still very happy with this result."
Gehrig finished sixth in the overall standings.

Carolin Gehrig would also have liked to finish in this area, and her seventh place on the first stage also pointed to a result in this region. But there were too many riding errors and crashes mixed in with her rides. In the end, she finished in eleventh place - 15th overall.

Hill with a record

In the men's race, there is a big duel between the leading Frenchman Florian Nicolai and the Australian Sam Hill. It is Hill who then battles it out with Belgian Martin Maes. The latter, however, had the better end and won by twelve seconds. Nicolai, on the other hand, rode a solid race and finished in fifth place, but that was not enough for the Frenchman. Hill is the first rider to win the series for the third time, with a lead of just under 40 points. Frenchman Kevin Miquel comes third overall.

Gusti Wildhaber is among the front runners. After not being able to deliver the performance he wanted in the last few races, he rides back into the top 10 in Zermatt.
"Riding to ninth place in my home race is great. It's nice to be able to end the season like this!"
Wildhaber even rides to the third-fastest time on the penultimate downhill stage. In the overall classification, the Sargans native finishes in 16th place.

Maxime Chapuis doesn't really get going. The Frenchman had set his sights high for his home race, but in the end it was only enough for 30th place.
Patrick Lüthi, on the other hand, was satisfied and finished the race in 37th place.
