Over 500 spectators braved the rain, cheered the riders on loudly and created a rousing atmosphere. The wet trails made the course particularly challenging - an additional endurance test that was more than worthy of the season finale. The young athletes showed impressive control, courage and fighting spirit on the technically demanding passages.

The Valiant Grand Prix is regarded as one of the most important mountain bike downhill junior racing series in Switzerland. Throughout the year, participants in regional races qualified for the national season finale.

With its focus on technique, fairness and fun, the Valiant GP fills a crucial gap in the field of children's and youth downhill races and offers young riders a platform to develop their sporting skills and gain their first racing experience.

Despite challenging conditions, team spirit, enjoyment and strong performances dominated. Numerous young talents surpassed themselves, mastered the slippery trails with flying colors and impressively demonstrated the potential of young Swiss talent. The Swiss Bike Park once again proved to be the ideal venue for junior races with professional conditions, a large audience and a safe route.

A day that showed that Switzerland has an impressive range of motivated young mountain bikers and therefore a strong foundation for the future of mountain biking.
