The women set off on the notoriously steep course after a thunderstorm had passed. This makes for tricky conditions as the dry, dusty track they had practiced on the day before gives way to a slippery, rain-soaked course.
 
But this did nothing to dampen the strength of Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Ineos Grenadiers), who fought her way to the front of the field and took her first win of the season. Puck Pieterse (Alpecin-Deceuninck) crossed the finish line in second place, five seconds behind, while Evie Richards (Trek Factory Racing XC) completed the podium in third place.

The U23 XCC riders went between the tapes on Thursday and enjoyed dry conditions that the elite can only dream of.

Luke Wiedmann made it onto the World Cup podium for the first time with third place and a Swiss rider, Noëlle Buri, also took third place in the U23 women's race.
