Third place for Emilie Siegenthalter in Fort William - Carina Cappellari in 7th place

What a race for the Swiss downhillers - Emilie Siegenthaler rides onto the podium for the first time. Third place in Fort William. After Rachel Atherton withdrew at short notice, Tracy Hannah wins ahead of Myriam Nicole and the Swiss rider. Carina Cappellari rides to seventh place.

Every streak comes to an end - but nobody would have wished for Rachel Atherton's winning streak to end at her home World Cup in Fort William. Atherton injured herself during the run-in and dislocated her shoulder - a start was out of the question. In the absence of the world champion, Tracy Hannah won in commanding style, more than 10 seconds ahead of Myriam Nicole and Emilie Siegenthaler.

Hystoric day for the Swiss downhillers

No Swiss downhill racer has stood on the podium of a World Cup race since 2007. Siegenthaler has always just missed out on her goal. She is all the more delighted to have made it onto the podium. Siegenthaler was particularly convincing in the muddy middle section - she was one of the only riders not to have much trouble in the mud. Carina Cappellari was another Swiss rider to finish in the top ten. Cappellari managed seventh place and equaled her best World Cup result.
