Frei controlled the XCO on Les Gets's long climb, waiting until the final lap to attack — enough to hold off Rissveds by two seconds, with Savilia Blunk a further 30 seconds back. On the men's side, Boichis dispatched Luca Martin and Mathieu van der Poel on the final lap of the XCO, a week after van der Poel returned to XCC racing from 41st on the grid and reached only 11th. Both winners carry doubles momentum into Val di Sole, but neither result closed the door on their closest rivals.
