The rest of the team also delivered strong results:
- Ondrej Cink (Elite Men) showed his experience, finishing 5th in the XCC and 9th in the XCO – a solid performance on one of the most demanding courses of the season.
- Ella Maclean-Howell (U23 Women) showed great fighting spirit: After a tough start, she battled her way back to an impressive 6th place in the XCO, having already finished 5th in the XCC.
- Kira Böhm, in her first Elite season, once again demonstrated consistency: With 15th in the XCC and 19th in the XCO, she collected more valuable World Cup points and added to her streak of Top 20 finishes.

Kasper Hickman finished 18th in the Junior Men’s race.
In the Elite Women’s race, Jess Blewitt delivered a powerful performance, finishing 4th, narrowly missing the podium.
