Today & tomorrow will see the 2022 Swiss National Championships take place in Leysin. Leysin is set in the Vaud Alps. It will see last years reigning elite champions taking part.
Elite Female
The elite female race sees last years Swiss Champion Jolanda Neff taking part. Neff has won 12 XC National Championships in total, 7 in Elite. It wont be an easy race though as Frei, Indergand & Keller will put up a fight for the top spot.
Our top 3 prediction:
- Jolanda Neff (Trek Factory Racing)
- Sina Frei (Specialized Factory Racing)
- Linda Indergand (Liv Factory Racing)
Elite Male
Mathias Fluckiger , the reigning Swiss national champion is racing to keep the title, but it won’t be easy with Nino Schurter taking part after his monumental effort at Nove Mesto- he’s our favourite to win the 2022 National Championships! With other Swiss power houses; Filippo Colombo, Lars Forster & Andri Frischknecht it won’t be a easy race for anyone.
Our top 3 prediction:
- Nino Schurter (Scott Sram MTB Team)
- Mathias Fluckiger (Thömus Maxon)
- Filippo Colombo (BMC Mountain Bike Team)
The Course
The course is around 4.5KM long with grueling climbs & descents.
2022 Swiss Champions
