Weather conditions haven't improved much in the lead. Five athletes are chasing race leader Chrigel Maurer (SUI1) hard on foot, running up the Furka pass in horrible, wet and windy weather. These are: Patrick von Känel (SUI2) currently on the pass, and Benoît Outters (FRA2), Aaron Durogati (ITA1), Maxime Pinot (FRA1) and Simon Oberrauner (AUT2) around 4km behind.
