The weather in Leukerbad is gloomy. Snowfall, strong winds and cold temperatures, combined with a muddy and slippery course, made for a very tough challenge. The women took it easy for the first few meters, after which Ramona Forchini pushed the pace and ensured that the field spread out on the long climb.

The young Austrian Mona Mitterwallner was already at the front, emerging alone at the finish after the first lap and subsequently dominating the prominent competition. "I didn't expect such a superior race, but the course suits me thanks to the long climb," said the happy winner.Kate Courtney from the USA and French world champion Pauline Ferrand Prevot completed the podium. Jolanda Neff got off to a slow start, but then fired up the turbo and made up rank after rank. In the end, she was the best Swiss rider in fifth place.Results
