Double Olympic medallist Jenny Rissveds from Falu Cykelklubb won the women’s class convincingly, finishing over five minutes ahead of runner-up Lejla Njemcevic from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The men's class saw a Norwegian-Danish duel with Simon Andreassen, who also competed in the Paris Olympics, winning the sprint on Vasagatan in Mora ahead of Norway’s Emil Hasund Eid. This marked Denmark's first victory in Cykelvasan.
