 The Women's Race so far has been a wet, muddy, thunderstorming mess. Crashes all over the place. Even the course Motos are have gone down....

 What about Jolanda? Mechanical or?

 Jolanda had at least two crashes and got hung up with several times with U23 riders that are on the course at the same time as the Elites. At the end of Lap 5 she had some sort of technical and had to stop.


The weather is just miserable. At times it was so cloudy/foggy and rainy you couldn't tell one rider from another.

 @Augustus-G: I'm watching the replay on youtube right now. That weather was crazy. Couldn't see 50m ahead! Last lap it cleared but those off camber grass sections are deadly with that pour down!

 These seem like really small fields for Swiss National Champs!

 It's a pretty small country. Total population is only about 8.5M and Area wise you could put 7.15 of them in the State of Arizona. MTB wise they punch well above their weight.

 what's up with Ninos DNS?

 he posted about it on his socials a couple days ago. He said he wasn't going to start because he wants to focus 100% of his energy on the world cup this season.

 @danielfloyd: thanks, i don't follow a ton of riders' social media, but it makes sense given how close he is to setting the all-time WC win record

 It is no secret that he hate riding in the rain. Unless it is a world cup, world champ or olympics he won't force himself.
