A large number of spectators witness a spectacular race. The conditions are extremely difficult because the rain has turned several sections into a slippery ride. Especially in the "Mitas Abbyss", a drop, the riders fall in rows.
Jolanda Neff, however, is unimpressed by everything and goes solo from lap one (out of six), always safe on her bike. "I like conditions like this and knew that if I could be first into the downhill, then I could make the most of it. That worked out and from then on, everything went smoothly," said Neff about her victory, which also saw her take the overall World Cup lead from Annika Langvad (Den), who only finished 29th. "I'm really happy about this victory. I was always informed about my lead and so I was able to ride at the front without stress. The atmosphere on the course was great, the people were really into it," explained Neff. "It was necessary for me to skip Solothurn, my thigh simply needed the rest. Not racing for three weeks is special for me though, I love riding races."

Behind her, however, this atmospheric backdrop sees a fascinating race for second place. Alessandra Keller skied strongly, worked her way up to second position, but crashed twice on that drop before deciding to ride the B-line after all - as did most of the women in the end. Nevertheless, she is in second place until the final lap, but the chasers get closer and closer and in the end she has to let both Yana Belomoina and Anne Tauber pass her. Nevertheless, Alessandra Keller is delighted with her first podium in the World Cup. "Apart from the last lap, I was able to keep up with the front runners, but I'm very happy with the whole weekend. The course got more and more difficult, but basically I thought it was okay, even though I crashed twice. For me personally, this is a big step forward, I'm on the right track," said Keller, who actually still belongs to the U23 category. "I want to try to ride consistently at the front and also be able to call up the performance from the last few weeks in Nove Mesto."

Linda Indergand is also one of the few who ride the A-line without an accident. She sometimes rides in third position, but she is not strong enough on the mountain. On the final lap, she comes within three seconds of Elisabeth Brandau, but is left behind by the German on the following climb. "I have to admit that I wasn't as strong uphill as sixth place would suggest. But I was able to play it off downhill. Lisa was simply stronger uphill. A podium would have been the icing on the cake, but I'm happy as it is," commented Indergand.
