Kevin Hansen thus took his second World Cup victory in his career, after the victory in Abu Dhabi two years ago.
The time when Niclas Grönholm was deprived of the victory afterwards.
But this time he himself was first over the finish line, at the World Cup premiere in Barcelona.
And the joy could not be missed afterwards.
- This means so much.
I have worked so hard for several years, and I am so happy, says a moved Kevin Hansen to redbulltv.com.
The key for Kevin Hansen was the victory in the semifinal against Johan Kristoffersson.
After a rock-hard race, where both drivers drove "wheel against wheel", he had the opportunity to be in the first starting line in the final next to his brother Timmy Hansen.
And the final was also tough.
The Hansen brothers took the lead, with the wildly hunting, reigning world champion, Johan Kristoffersson behind them.
And the Hansen brothers held off as first and second, with Kevin first over the finish line.
Kristoffersson washed in the qualifiers
Johan Kristoffersson actually otherwise won all four qualifying heats, but was also deprived of the victory in the first heat afterwards, after not having the mandatory data logging involved.
- I do not blame anyone, the data logging was not connected and we got zero points there instead of 50, says Johan Kristoffersson to redbulltv.com about the indicator.
Kristoffersson now finds himself chasing the Hansen brothers in the hunt for their fourth World Cup title.
That hunt will continue at home in Höljes on 20 August.
