Three podium places each for Joanna Murphy and Jennifer Heer
Zugerberg - last week, as well as this week, the destination of the Mountain Trophy.
The battle for the stage podium places continued until last Sunday. In the men's race, Philipp Arnold again won five out of six categories. Jens Groos takes victory on the road bike. Joanna Murphy won twice in the women's race and Jennifer Heer, Conny Odermatt, Eveline Villiger and Andrea Lauffer each won once.

The average age of the participants is still similar: 43 years on the short and 49 years on the medium and long course. This puts one of the fastest runners above the average: Cecil Wheeler from Cham, aged 51, came second behind Arnold on the 2.2 kilometers and third on the 5.1 kilometers. Reto Benz completes the podium on the short stage and David Gärtner is in second place on the medium stage. He also came second on the long stage, followed by Thomas Hug in third place.

Jennifer Heer is second on the short and first on the medium distance. Caroline Heeb is also on the podium twice. She is second on the medium and third on the long lap. Third place on the 2.2 km, which goes to Kerstin Dusch, and second place on the 14 kilometers, which goes to Rita Wicki, are still missing.
