1999 Results    Past Winners

This Swiss National Event is an invitation only race consisting of two separate mountain time trials, each of 6.85 km. Each time trial involves riding from the edge of Lake Geneva and ascending through the city until the riders reach the highest point.

This year's race was won by Swiss Daniel Schnider (La Francaise des Jeux), who placed fourth in the first time trial to favourites Laurent Dufaux and Oscar Camenzind, but then came back to win the second with a narrow margin to Camenzind. The two finished on equal time, with Dufaux a second behind, however Schnider had managed to snag an extra three tenths of a second to give him the win.
