Nino Schurter won the cross-country event in Lenzerheide. In front of its public, Graubünden thus won its 34th victory in the World Cup. He previously shared this record with Frenchman Julien Absalon. Best Swiss in the women’s event, Alessandra Keller was ranked 3rd, behind Anne Terpstra and the winner of the day Loana Lecomte
Nino Schurter literally swept the opposition away in the second round of the Cross Country World Cup. Carried by the public of Lenzerheide (Grisons), the tenfold world champion won with 15” ahead of South African Alan Haterly and 22” over Frenchman Jordan Sarrou.
“It took me a long time to get this 34th victory. Winning her at the Makison is all the more special. It’s very emotional because it was probably my last race here in Lenzerheide“said the 37-year-old triple Olympic medalist.
Another podium for Alessandra Keller
From the second of the 6 laps, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Loana Lecomte dictated the pace of the event. Only Alessandra Keller and the Dutch Anne Terpstra managed to hang on to the French locomotives until the penultimate lap. The 27-year-old Nidwalden then resisted well in the last moments of the race, even managing to catch up and overtake the Habs Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (4th), who was the last to resist the pace imposed by Loana Lecompte before finally exploding . The Swiss Olympic medalists finished much further: Linda Indergand 15th, Sina Frei 17th and Jolanda Neff 18th.
