Stigger made the difference midway through the race with a super lively Martina Berta (Santa Cruz Rockshox) who was unable to do anything against the Austrian, who was having a good day today.
Alpecin-Deceuninck's Puck Pieterse's sixth place was enough to secure her the Mountain Bike World Cup title cross-country UCI 2023, giving her an unassailable lead ahead of the final round next week at Mont Sainte Anne.
VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
The only one who tried to worry the 23 year old Austrian, besides the Italian Berta, was Loana Lecomte (Canyon) who managed to reduce the gap to 23 seconds.
Italian Martina Berta (Santa Cruz Rockshox Pro Team) finished third with a solid race. Pieterse's closest rival in the title race, Mona Mitterwallner (Cannondale Factory Racing) crossed the finish line in 10th position: not a great day today.
