At last! Swiss Cycling announces the first Swiss Enduro Championships in the Lötschental. And it's high time, because since the introduction of the Enduro World Series eight years ago, national championships have been held in almost every country. Only in Switzerland has it been difficult. The premiere will take place on October 9/10 in Wiler, on the occasion of the Swiss Enduro Series.

As the OC of the BerGiBike Marathon in the canton of Fribourg has canceled the elite competitions scheduled for 27 June due to the pandemic, the Swiss mountain bike marathon champions will be determined on 26 September 2021 as part of the Iron Bike Race. The last time Swiss championship medals were awarded at the marathon classic in Einsiedeln was in 2018.

At the World E-Bike Series in Bologna (ITA), Nathalie Schneitter wins the first of the two races - also her first of the season. She finished second in the second race, behind reigning world champion Melanie Pugin (FRA). In the men's race, Joris Ryf finishes in second place twice, while Andreas Moser rides to eighth place twice.

The first Tour de Suisse Women was a great success. Britain's Elizabeth Deignan triumphed in the overall standings, with Swiss riders Elise Chabbey, Marlen Reusser and Jolanda Neff taking second, third and fourth place. The 96 participants were supported by countless amateur cyclists who had covered over one million kilometers in 55 days under the auspices of the #fastandfemaleSUI project.

Swiss mountain biker Simon Vitzthum puts in a strong performance in the Aargau cycling classic GP Gippingen. He leads the race for a long time in a three-man breakaway group. The trio is only caught by the peloton with 1.5 laps to go. They were joined by Nino Schurter and Mathias Flückiger, who stayed out of the sprint and finished 22nd and 25th respectively.

In the Trans Madeira enduro stage race, Swiss rider Anita Gehrig wins all five of the day's classifications to take overall victory, followed by her sister Carolin Gehrig and third-placed Monika Büchi. In the men's race, the German Christian Textor wins the overall standings. The five days of racing are characterized by heavy rainfall in places, which meant that some stages had to be cancelled.
