Due to the midsummer conditions, the jury decides to shorten the men's race by one lap. Despite this, the weekend came to a high quality conclusion. In a veritable elimination race, New Zealander Anton Cooper celebrates his first victory in the PROFFIX Swiss Bike Cup in a strong field of participants. In doing so, he impressively confirmed his third place from the World Cup in Albstadt. He was only able to distance himself from his compatriot Samuel Gaze shortly before the finish. On the penultimate lap, the two of them shake off Olympic champion Nino Schurter. After a training crash on Thursday, the latter is not in top form. After four of seven races, Andri Frischknecht still leads the overall standings of the PROFFIX Swiss Bike Cup - two points ahead of his team-mate Nino Schurter.

Henderson wins the women's race

Rebecca Henderson celebrates a start-finish victory in the women's race. The Australian rode off at such a fast pace that soon no one was able to follow. Swiss rider Alessandra Keller managed to hold on the longest, finishing third overall and winning the U-23 classification. Thanks to a strong chase, the German Sabine Spitz finishes second. Sina Frei rides to fourth place after a consistent race and defends her position as leader in the overall standings.

In the men's U23 race, the tension is high right to the end. Unbeaten in the PROFFIX Swiss Bike Cup, Filippo Colombo had to concede defeat to New Zealander Ben Oliver by a tenth of a second in the final sprint. Nevertheless, the man from VC Monte Tamaro continues to lead the overall standings.
