Olympic champion Julien Absalon (Orbea) and Switzerland's Esther Süss (Wheeler-IXS Pro Team) prevailed in the elite men's and women's races comprising the third round of the Racer Bikes Cup.
In the elite men's event, Absalon set a furious tempo from the start and distanced everyone except world champion Nino Schurter (Scott-Swisspower MTB Racing) and his teammate Florian Vogel. Schurter, however, suffered a flat tire on the fourth of eight laps and dropped out of contention for the victory.
