Myriam Nicole celebrates her first win of the season after a time of 4:50.98 minutes. Nicole, of all people, rides for the Commencal/Vallnord team. On the doorstep of brand founder Max Commencal, she wins by 2.99 seconds ahead of Tahnee Seagrave (GBR), who is still ahead at the first two split times. Nicole's long-awaited victory comes after she suffered a broken collarbone in a crash at a race in the British racing series in 2015.

With third place, Marine Cabirou landed a small surprise. The young Frenchwoman beat Rachel Atherton by half a second. Atherton had to sit out two races due to a dislocated shoulder. All the more impressive that she managed to come back in such a short time and then finish in the top 5.

Emilie Siegenthaler finishes seventh (+12.96), this time off the podium. "I'm a bit burnt out after all the races in the last few weeks, I didn't have the energy to attack," explained the Biel native. Top five is always the goal, which is why she is a little disappointed. "But if I've ridden well, then I can accept that," she sums up the fourth World Cup race of the season. Carina Cappellari finished twelfth (+29.32). "I actually rode smoothly and didn't make any significant mistakes," says the skier from Chur, "on the whole I'm satisfied." The course is probably the toughest in the World Cup, especially as after a physically demanding upper section, the terrain gets steeper and steeper. "Then you're just fighting for survival."

Loris Michellod from Switzerland finished 15th in the junior category, 26.49 seconds slower than the winner Finnley Iles (4:12:84) from Canada, who celebrated his third win of the season. Michellod is satisfied with his run, having just recovered from a broken collarbone. "I made a few mistakes, but that's normal. The time is okay," explains Michellod.
