Sina Frei doesn't get off to the best start, but she makes up for it on the first climb. She takes the lead and rides the 2.8-kilometre starting lap with a lead that she extends to 30 seconds. At the start of the third lap, she has a mishap when she falls on the asphalt. This cost her a large part of her lead, but Richards was unable to catch up. "In these conditions, it's better to ride at the front. Everyone makes mistakes on this surface, the aim was to make as few as possible and I managed to do that," said Frei, commenting on her strategy. "It's super nice that I've won another World Cup and for the first time in the rainbow jersey. That also makes the victory special."

Nicole Koller rides a good race and fights for fourth place until the final lap. On the final climb, however, she loses contact with the Italians Chiara Teocci and Marika Tovo. In a race with many crashes, she finishes sixth and is quite satisfied. "The feeling was good and I don't mind weather like this. I had a few crashes because I couldn't control it. On the final lap, I hoped that I could come close again on the downhill, but then I rode safe to avoid crashing again."
