Monique Halter starts the U19 race as the favorite and immediately marks her status. She immediately took the lead after the start and never relinquished it, taking the world title after winning gold at the European Championships in Portugal. "My race went really well. I was able to ride my pace right from the start. The title means a lot to me, especially that my colleague Lea Huber came second - now we can celebrate together," said a delighted Halter.

Hind the newly crowned world champion, her colleague Lea Huber wants to do the same. However, the Swiss athlete soon had to give up her second position, was in fifth place for a while and fought her way back into second place on the third lap. Huber takes silver, as she did at the European Championships. "At the beginning, I struggled a bit to keep up with the chasing group. The longer the race went on, the better it went for me, and when the others slowed down, I was also able to play to my strengths in the technical sections and take the silver medal," recaps Huber.
Anina Hutter briefly rode up to second place, but then fell back and finished in a good ninth place as the third best Swiss skier. "At the start, I struggled a bit to keep up with the chasing group. The longer the race went on, the better it went for me, and when the others slowed down, I was able to play to my strengths in the technical sections and take the silver medal," said Huber.

Jan Christen shows his ambitions at the top of the men's U19 category. Together with Paul Schehl from Germany and Paul Magnier from the host country France, the Swiss rider is in a three-way battle. The junior world cyclo-cross champion and European road champion makes it to the decisive phase for the title. "The race was incredible. I got off to a good start and was able to ride at my own pace, pushing up the climbs and then tackling the descents in a controlled manner. I was able to neutralize the constant attacks either downhill or uphill, even towards the end where I had to defend myself against Paul's attacks," Christen analyses.

He then launched his attack towards the end, but came under pressure from his rival in a bend. As a result, Christen tries to avoid a collision with Schehl and crashes alone. Schehl becomes world champion, but Christen is still delighted with silver: "I'm very happy - it's incredible!"

Gold and two bronze medals for the electrified

In the e-mountain bike race, Nicole Göldi starts as defending champion, with her equally ambitious team colleague Nathalie Schneitter. The 19-year-old Swiss rider pulled away on the first lap and celebrated a commanding start-to-finish victory. "There was a great atmosphere on this super course, so I really enjoyed the race. Defending the title means a lot to me, as there was a lot of pressure on my shoulders and I was able to withstand it," said Göldi.

French rider Justine Tonso was initially behind in fifth place, but then caught up and rode past Nathalie Schneitter, before fighting her way up to second place. While Tonso holds on to second place over the last two laps and wins silver, Schneitter overtakes France's Laura Charles and secures the bronze medal. U19 national coach Kathrin Stirnemann takes seventh place.

In the men's race, Frenchman Jérôme Gilloux does the same to Switzerland's Nicole Göldi. He took the lead on lap one and never relinquished it until the finish. Swiss rider Joris Ryf was always within striking distance before swapping positions with Frenchman Hugo Pigeon halfway through the race and riding to the finish in third place. "I had quite a fight on my hands, and the French were simply a tick stronger than me technically, physically I was able to keep up. Nonetheless, I'm very happy and finally have a medal after finishing fourth and fifth in the World Championships," says Ryf. The Swiss Loic Noel also achieved a good result with eighth place.
