The victory at the 4th Flückiger Cross in Madiswil goes to the German Sascha Weber in the elite category. Right from the start, Weber is part of the five-man leading group with Lukas Flückiger, Nicola Rohrbach, Simon Zahner and Marcel Wildhaber. Rohrbach fights his way to the front from the back of the pack and rides the fastest lap time of the entire race. He is also partly responsible for the high pace, which Wildhaber falls victim to on lap six and Zahner on lap eight.

The decision was made on the tenth and final lap, when Weber pulled away from his rivals with a fast final lap under six minutes. He was able to manage five seconds to the finish. Behind them, Lukas Flückiger and Nicola Rohrbach sprinted for second place, with the better end for Flückiger.

Neff's successful return
Jolanda Neff's last cyclocross race was more than four years ago. This makes her return to the thin tires all the more impressive, because shortly after the start, she takes off. She soon has a lead of almost 30 seconds and her victory seems to be a foregone conclusion. However, a slip-up brings tension back into the decision. Lise-Marie Henzelin takes the lead. Neff is then pushed hard by the Romande, but she is able to regain the lead and wins the Flückiger-Cross in Madiswil by 15 seconds. Last year's winner Olivia Hottinger came third.
