Jolanda makes it six!

On Sunday, Jolanda Neff renewed her title as Swiss XC Champion

In Switzerland over the weekend, some of the worldโ€™s best lined up to compete for the Swiss national XC champion title. As TFRโ€™s Jolanda Neff sprinted into the first lap, she was not only attempting to renew her status as Swiss champion for the sixth time, she was testing her body after a very serious crash earlier this year.

Lap after lap, Jolanda increased her lead and when she sped across the finish line with a comfortable gap to claim her sixth Swiss title, she smiled in triumph and relief that everything was back on track.

โ€œIโ€™m super super happy with my race. I was already on my own after half a lap. I had a gap of 10 seconds, and it went up about 20 seconds every lap. At the finish line, I had a 2:30 gap,โ€ Jolanda said.

โ€œMost of all Iโ€™m just super happy that I am 100% healthy. I have zero pain, I felt good on the bike. I didnโ€™t know exactly how my body would react and this week it was really amazing. I was back to riding my race rhythm. It means a lot to me to be able to race again and to be able to come back like this and to win the championship.โ€
