Ready, go and it is already clear that it will be hard to keep up with McConnell: already in the first lap the Australian closes with a twenty second advantage over Jenny Rissveds and Loana Lecomte. Just under a minute there were Neff, Frei, Batten, Richards and Ferrand Prevot: heavy gaps for just 10 minutes of the race.



The race continues with Rebecca McConnell's dominance, even if behind Rissveds and Lecomte they don't give up and pass just 17 seconds (2 laps from the end) from the Australian. During the penultimate lap, Rissveds loses contact with Lecomte. Neff fourth at 1 '40 ", fifth the young Danish Bohe while behind we find Keller and the two Austrians Stigger and Mitterwallner. Giorgia Marchet very regular keeps the top 20.


During the last lap, McConnell increases the pace by moving away the Lecomte that was approaching dangerously. She triumphantly closes the Nove Mesto race with 3 out of 3 in this first part of the World Cup.


ITALIANS
Giorgia Marchet (Trinx Factory) from Belluno was the first Italian girl (17th position), behind her Greta Seiwald (23rd), Eva Lechner (33rd) and Chiara Teocchi (49th).
