Paul Guschlbauer and Martin Muller made an audacious move this morning. They climbed to Refugio Sella on the south side of Neues Weisstor putting them in a perfect position to take the Matterhorn turnpoint. Meanwhile, Toma Coconea maintained his second position, launching over Visp.
All three have now passed the Matterhorn, with Guschlbauer taking a tiger line over big mountains towards Mt Blanc. Race leader Christian Maurer is blazing a trail southwards to Mt Gros. At the time of writing, he was covering up to 50 km an hour, flying at altitudes of 3500 m. Storms are set to develop late in the afternoon.
