The Swiss Epic seems to be a good preparation - ski crosser Alex Fiva wins his eighth World Cup race

Last season he went without a World Cup win, but now he's done it again. Alex Fiva wins the ski cross in Val Thorens, France. Next week is serious for both athletes from the "Ride Flow Team" from the last Swiss Epic. So biking provides a good basis for success.

Together with snowboarder Nevin Galmarini, Alex Fiva took part in last year's Swiss Epic Flow. The two did extremely well and regularly finished on the podium. Both were not yet fully aware of the training effect of the Swiss Epic. For Alex Fiva in any case, the exertions were worth it. Fiva was unlucky to finish sixth in the first World Cup race - today he turned the tables and took his eighth World Cup victory with aplomb. Fiva now also leads the overall World Cup, having already won the crystal globe in 2013. The next race for Fiva will be the home World Cup in Arosa next Tuesday evening. Fiva won his first ever World Cup race in Arosa.

For snowboarder Nevin Galmarini, things will also get serious next week. The season starts on December 15 in Carezza, Italy.
