The final day of racing at the Digital Swiss 5 saw the peloton faced with a difficult day in the virtual Swiss mountains. Climbing from the gun the pace was high and riders were soon spread out all over the mountain.
Continuing the rich vein of form that the team had showed in the previous four days; Chris Hamilton, Jai Hindley and Nicholas Roche were all to the fore on the opening slopes. Cresting the first climb of the day all three riders were well positioned in the top ten and on the descent they made movements further up the order.
Roche was hot on the tail of Race 1 winner Dennis and the two riders entered battle yet again on the final climb. Despite closing in on Dennis in the finale, Roche was unable to topple him, having to settle for a brilliant and hard-fought second place on the line. Behind, Hamilton showed that he measured his effort perfectly, taking his third fourth place finish of the week while series debutant Hindley claimed a very respectable sixth place finish.
