The 25.5 kilometre women's race saw world champion and series leader Catharine Pendrel struggle in the opening loop, dropping back to the mid-20s in the field and losing over 40 seconds on her rivals. Her Luna team mate Katerina Nash, racing in front of home fans, jumped into an early lead, before being joined by Bresset after one lap. Irina Kalentieva (Topeak Ergon) joined Bresset at the front, as did Pendrel, making a remarkable come back from the mid-20s.

Bresset attacked on the climb on the final lap, dropping first Pendrel and then Kalentieva, to solo in for her first World Cup win of the year. Kalentieva hung on for second, but Pendrel faded to sixth, with Nash taking a very popular third and Georga Gould (Luna) finishing fourth, outsprinting Blaza Klemencic (Felt Oetztal X-Bionic).

In the overall standings, Bresset leads with 590 points to Pendrel's 540, with round one winner Maja Wloszczowska (CCC Polkowice) a further 10 points back.

"I had a good feeling in my legs," explained Bresset, "and I like this course very much. Katerina [Nash] went out very fast at the start, but I was slowly able to bring her back. I was most worried when Catharine [Pendrel] joined us, because she is a very strong and experienced rider, who won here against me last year."

Speakers: Georgia Gould, Catherine Pendrel
