Jürg Graf (Felt International MTB Team) and Elisabeth Osl (central GHOST Pro Team) took wins in the opening round of the Racer Bikes Cup in Schaan, Switzerland, on Sunday after favorites Ralph Näf (Multivan Merida Biking Team) and Sabine Spitz (central GHOST Pro Team) surprised their fellow competitors by not winning their respective races. Spitz took fourth place in the women's race, but Näf pulled out of the men's race due to illness.
