With just a few days to go until the start of the world championships in Champery, Switzerland, some of the favorites raced before a large crowd during the final of the Swiss Racer Bikes Cup in Muttenz. Foreigners triumphed in both elite categories with Julien Absalon of France winning the elite men's race and Annie Last of Great Britain taking the elite women's race. Lukas Flückiger in second and Kathrin Stirnemann in third were the best Swiss riders in each of those events.

In the men's race, 93 racers from 22 nations took to the start, but series leader Nino Schurter was not at the start. Lukas Flückiger was interested in the overall series and he led at the start as Absalon drove the chase. On lap three, the pair joined forces together with chasers Moritz Milatz, Patrick Gallati, Severin Disch, Matthias Stirnemann, Lukas Kaufmann and Marcel Kaufmann in hot pursuit.
