 These are qualifying pictures, I'm willing to bet with the gap between the two in the race that Atherton took the gap line as well.

 Ye I would also love to ride down 700m of vertical with jumps and drops littering the course! Looks sweet.

 Les Deux Alpes has some of the longest DH runs in the whole of the Alps, including a run from the glacier @ 3600M right down to Venosc @ 1000M. The only slight down side is there isn't a vast amount of wooded areas, still great fun though.

 You have just made going to Les Deux Alpes sound even better. I really want to go some place in the alps and ride all those huge mountains they have got and Les Deux Alpes sounds like the place.

 Round my area we only have 2 minute max dh runs! 2600m runs? I gotta go.

 Cool photos! I would love to ride in the Alps again, there is some gnarly terrain there!

 Looks like an outdoor moto track! I'd love to ride that.
