Race leader Christian Maurer is flying through the course as he crosses the border into France by 11 am and soars his way down the Chamonix Valley to round Mt Blanc, the seventh of the Red Bull X-Alps turn points.
Not far behind, Toma Coconea is also making good progress, busting into Switzerland and taking turn point six, the notorious Matterhorn.
