Maxime Pinot (FRA1) and Aaron Durogati (ITA1) are in the air at 2000m, racing towards the valley where Benoît Outters (FRA2), currently in third place, is hiking. He is looking at at least a 15km hike and then up to Turnpoint 6 Säntis. The two followers will likely catch up and even fly over his head. The southern route that these two took proves again to be the better one.
