In a group featuring legendary Marcel Hirscher and Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen, the young Frenchman won by just 0.08 seconds on a dramatic day in Switzerland.

Austrian Manuel Feller and compatriot Hirscher finished second and third respectively on a day when a run of six consecutive World Cup wins for the Austrians was brought to an end.

Kristoffersen just missed out on a podium place as he claimed fourth.
