They’ve led the series from the start of the year when we were on the Chilean coast. Now we are on the Italian Coast for the final round of the season. Cecile Ravanel, wrapped up the series at the penultimate round in Valberg for her first title and Richie Rude is on the cusp of his second. Richard Cunynghame caught up with them on the beach ahead of this weekend’s season climax.

 Hmmmm, it always worries me when I guy of Richie's caliber plans to ride safe. "Top 15, no mechanicals, no crashes." Seems like he and Gwin and others of his caliber ride better and, paradoxically, safer when they try to win. Cecile said it right in her broken English - riding cautiously is dangerous.

 You don't ride cautiously. You just don't push so much.

 Apparently PB's talkback system doesn't support Android's emojies so instead of emojies there are question marks after submitting a coment. Shame.
