The freshly laid World Cup course from 2025 with a view of a breathtaking panorama of the Valais Alps passed its first endurance test in good conditions. The world number 1, Alessandra Keller (27), once again proved her outstanding qualities in a Swiss championship race with a world-class cast. The ever-stronger Nidwaldner relegated the Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion, Jolanda Neff (Trek Factory Racing XC), and Olympic third-placed Linda Indergand (Liv Factory Racing) to the next places without discussion. Alessandra Keller, who had already secured the short track title in Crans Montana on Friday, led the race from the start on the partly dusty track. At first she was accompanied by Jolanda Neff, who is slowly getting back into shape. Neff had to let go quickly, but courageously fought his way back to Keller in the end without being able to endanger her. Alessandra Keller had barely crossed the finish line when she was already looking ahead to the coming weekend, the home World Cup in Lenzerheide. That’s why she drove more energy-efficiently at the end of the race, she revealed her tactics. In the U23 category, up-and-coming Ronja Blöchlinger (Liv Factory Racing) won the title ahead of Ginia Caluori (Thömus Akros - Youngstars) and Noëlle Buri (Bixs Performance Race Team). Triple victory by Thömus Maxon In the men’s category, the whole podium went to Thömus Maxon, the dominating elite team in Switzerland. Mathias Flückiger (34) secured the fourth XCO Elite Swiss Championship title overall and the third in a row after 2021 and 2022, which made him particularly happy. In the absence of Nino Schurter, who could have won his tenth championship title, he went two and a half minutes ahead of Lars Forster with a lights-to-flag victory. Third was Vital Albin. Thomas Litscher (Lapierre Mavic Unity) had to make do with the thankless fourth place. The eastern Swiss had won the short track title on Friday - Mathias Flückiger clearly showed on the 2025 World Cup course that he is in a class of his own. The rain that started in the men’s race “didn’t matter to me,“ said the Bernese unimpressed. He was not only enthusiastic about his commanding victory and the Thömus Maxon podium, but also about the newly built World Championship track, which in his opinion leaves nothing to be desired. «A really beautiful course in the middle of nature, which is also technically demanding and demands toughness. A super route!», was his verdict. Among the U23 riders, the clear favorite Dario Lillo (Scott Davos MTB Project) won the coveted jersey with the Swiss cross almost a minute ahead of Finn Treudler (JB Brunex Superior Factory Racing). Third was Luke Wiedmann from Thömus Maxon. The youngsters also showed very good to outstanding performances at the championship weekend in Valais. In particular, the only 14-year-old Rickenbacher Anja Grossmann from the newly founded Specialized XC Junior Team Switzerland is a great promise for the future. She won the U17 category with a lead of almost five minutes (!) and could have placed far in the front third of the juniors, in whose race she caught up from behind. Lewin Iten (Ägeri Cycling Race Team) becomes U17 Swiss Champion. In the juniors, Nicolas Halter (KA Boom Krapf) prevailed, in the juniors it was Anina Hutter (JB Brunex Superior Factory Racing) - these two also had a clear lead. Emilien Barben (32) from Team VTT Papival Scott Grand Rais BCVS won the Masters. #SwissBikeCup More info: Production: Upstream Media AG BTT Lobo Website: Do you want featured your videos?
