After sleet and snow for the women, the sun suddenly peeps out for the men. A total of 136 athletes tackle the elite race. The decision is already made in the starting lap. British U23 world champion and future cycling superstar Tom Pidcock leads by around 30 seconds at the first finish and rides the rest of the competition into the ground. "It's the perfect start to my mountain bike season," says Pidcock, pleased with his start to the off-road season. With a considerable gap of 3:06 minutes, Frenchman Titouan Carod took second place, while Canadian Sean Fincham rode onto the podium in third place. The best Swiss rider is Filippo Colombo in fifth place. Behind him, Andri Frischknecht, Vital Albin and Lukas Flückiger line up in sixth to eighth place.
