what a race!!!

 

unbelievable comeback by Neff, but what a tough reaction by Ferrand Prevot, who could stay with the Swiss in the last half lap and then beat her at the sprint finish...

 

the best women's race of the year...by far...

Plus it's so awesome to see Rissveds back on the podium after her bad, bad depression

[phelps 7,678]

and in the men's class, it's Mathieu Van Der Poel giving the Swiss armada a lesson...

 

not the most exciting race of the year, however...

 

Italy had their best team performance in the last few years (3 guys in the top 10, 5 in the top 14), but unfortunately they couldn't make the podium and our top rider (Kerschbaumer) was really unlucky when he had to change a wheel just after rejoining the leading group...

Yeah I think the legs of Avancini and Schurter are already burning right now just by thinking about it

Strong start for Neff, so far only Terpstra can follow somewhat.

 

So cool to see Lenzerheide, every time I see any kind of competition there my heart goes all   Best place on earth

And that's it for Tauber's chances
