In terms of the women's mountain group, different from the tense competitive atmosphere of the previous men's group, the competition atmosphere of the mountain women's group is highly "harmonious", and the spacious flat terrain makes it extremely difficult to break through. The rhythm of "riding" finally ushered in a large group sprint without any suspense. The BROSS women's power team successfully defended the championship and was runner-up in this group.
