The reigning world champion Nino Schurter (SCOTT-SRAM MTB RACING TEAM) attacked early, extending his lead throughout the race to take his record-breaking 34th World Cup win on home soil and solidify his place in the sport's history books.
The South African Alan Hatherly (CANNONDALE FACTORY RACING) wins the sprint on the chasing group on the French Jordan Sarrou (TEAM BMC).
There's definitely no better place to do it. It took me a long time to get to 34 wins. I was really looking forward to racing this race, racing one last time at Lenzerheide. It was already exciting to know that we might not race here again. I wanted to give it my all and hope to get the win here. The crowd was crazy. They definitely pushed me today. Feeling the people, the energy, definitely gave me so much. I really like these moments. I have to say a big thank you to everyone who came to cheer for me, to all the fans, to Lenzerheide. It's crazy - Nino Schurter
I have done this race many times and won the World Championships here as a U23 so I know how to run this course well. I saw the pace was high from the start, but I knew it would slow down eventually. I just measured myself and tried to keep an eye on the front of the race. I was suffering from cramps towards the end but still had the legs for the sprint to take second place. I feel good for Leogang. It's been a tough week for me. Had a crash earlier in the week which left my knee super swollen, then had a stupid short track crash which damaged some ribs – Alan Hatherly
It was a tough race, the World Cup is always full throttle. It was a really hectic sprint. In the last few laps I struggled a bit, but I managed to sprint for third place, so I'm happy. Fourth in Nove Mesto, second on Friday and third today. I hope I can do better in Austria – Jordan Sarrou
