In the main competition on Thursday, with prize money of 110,000 euros, the duo prevailed against 18 pairs. Fuchs and Conner Jei remained penalty-free and, thanks to a final sprint in 33.66 seconds, caught the Italian rider Lorenzo de Luca on Denver de Talma, who had been in the lead until then.

The top 10 final of the ten best riders in the world rankings will take place in Geneva on Friday evening, followed by the Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon with prize money of 1.2 million euros.
