It is the U23 World Cup winner from Lenzerheide, the Latvian Martins Blums, who dictates the pace in the first two laps. A group of three formed with Nadir Colledani and Simon Andreassen. Martins Blums then makes a mistake on "The Wall" drop, which has often been an executioner, and loses contact. On the following lap, Andreassen was no longer able to keep up with the pace of Albstadt winner Nadir Colledani on the climb. Colledani rode alone at the front for almost two laps, but Gioele Bertolini had long since started to catch up from the chasing group. He caught up on the penultimate lap and took the lead. On the final lap, he overtakes his compatriot and, quite surprisingly, takes U23 European Championship gold ahead of Colledani. Andreassen defends his bronze medal against Martins Blums, who is unable to find his rhythm again.

Filippo Colombo sets the pace at the start and then lines up in fifth place. However, he loses more and more time compared to fourth place. In the final lap, he loses a bit of energy and has to let the Dane Sebastian Fini Carstensen pass him. "I was simply exhausted," admits Colombo. "On the last lap, I tried to extend my lead over Fini on the climb, but then I was so exhausted at the top that I made a few mistakes. I'm very happy with my race, it was an improvement on the World Cups."

Noah Blöchlinger (+5:51), Joris Ryf (+5:57) and Arnaud Hertling (+6:06) finish the race in 21st to 23rd place, with Simon Vitzthum in 25th (+6:32). After his involvement in the start crash in Lenzerheide, he went into the start phase "with a little respect". "After that I half and half found my way into the race. From the second or third lap I had my rhythm. Unfortunately, I rode flat on the penultimate lap," explained Vitzthum, who was the second-best Swiss racer up to that point.

Vital Albin was in 20th position when his electronic gearshift stopped working on the second lap. On the penultimate lap, he also suffers a tire failure, causing him to retire.
