Geez, did Jenny throw a watt bomb in the 8th lap thereabouts. What a strong ride.The hilliness of the course makes it very dynamic.

Another solid top 3 by the South African in that cool green jersey. I suspect that he has a love affair with Lenzerheide. Who can ever forget that u23 Worlds victory?

Mathias was looking very shady in the post race interview.. But at the end of the day.. Like he said.. It's racing 

Coy would be the right word. Alan said they both chased into a section that was narrowing and they were side by side and banged bars crashed and had words. Alan and Luca had to portage over them. As Henrique once said, Nino like to intimidate rivals into submission and it looks like Matthias gave him a bit of FO and Nino came 4th. That’s racing

That was fun to watch. Just proves that if you’re slightly off the pace, at the end, to not give up.

Alan had a strategy. He was letting them go a bit in the first half of the lap when they played games with each other and then caught them back up in the 2nd half of the lap. On the last lap he they did attack harder in the first half but he was coming back when they had their accident so I think the outcome wouldn’t have been very different just that it would have been a 4way sprint and I reckon Luca and Alan would have had the upper hand as Matthias and Nino would be too busy larking each other

That precious inside lane, getting in their first crucial. So, so, so close for Alan. Geez, the margins, milli-millimetres!

Heaven for Braidot with his first ever win; torment for Schurter, pursuing that milestone.

Schurter:  “he overtook me where you cant make a safe pass. He crashed into me; as soon as there is a contact, one should stay behind” 
Flückiger: “its no time trial; i learned from Nino to race aggressively; this time we collided

Respect for the men and women in the arena. Such deep fields; such hectic intensity. One point difference on the women’s scoreboard.
