What a race for the World cup opening round in Lourdes, France. It's always a pleasure to race in France, the crowds are always crazy, with 35,000 spectators. The track was awesome, massive, fast... a real MTB DH track.
The training session was fun for Florent and Patrick, after few runs they were already fast, confirmed by the timed practice. The first qualification of the season is always special, you have to be fast but safe. Florent came in 41st with a very safe run and Patrick 14th with a good run. For the final on Sunday, the weather was perfect, there were many crowds. Florent had a good run, he took 27th place. Patrick had a good one too, just a bit faster to take 16th.
We are so happy with this weekend, we learned a lot, we knew we were not 100% ready. We have two months till the next world cup, we continue to work hard to put our riders in the top 10.
