The last test of the Swiss competition OKK Revolution arrived in the town of Huttwil with an important cartel of favorites looking for a fair level test just before traveling to the USA and Canada for the end of the World Cup.

In the women's race, Swiss Alessandra Keller (Thömus Maxon) did not wait for anyone and from the beginning of the race she took the lead followed by her compatriot Sina Frei (Specialized Factory Racing). The difference between them was never less than 10 seconds and Keller imposed herself with authority over the rest crossing the finish line first with a 15-second lead over Frei. The podium was closed by also Swiss Nicole Kolle (Ghost Factory Racing) more than 2 minutes behind.

The men's race had a star-studded starting grid with the best Swiss cyclists of the moment, such as Mathias Fluckiger, Nino Schurter, Filippo Colombo, Marcel Guerrini, or Dario Lillo, and also international representation, such as the French Jordan Sarrou or the Spanish Jofre Cullel.

But as soon as the race started, we could see that this race was going to be a test for Mathias Fluckiger after his appendicitis operation just before the World Championships. And it was.

During the initial lap, Fluckiger took the lead and behind him, it seemed like Colombo, Schurter, or Sarrou could be fighting for the victory, but all of that faded with the passing of the laps. Swiss Marcel Guerrini was the only one who at times was close to Fluckiger, but the Thomus Maxon rider dominated the race until the finish line.

Guerrini finished second and Jordan Sarrou closed the podium despite a final sprint from Dario Lilllo that the Frenchman managed to dominate.
