Cedric Gracia at Mont Sainte Anne DH in Mont Sainte Anne, Quebec, Canada - photo by IanHylands

Cedric Gracia used to be a major force on the circuit with incredible speed and style, but a few serious injuries and some personal tragedies took him out for a few years. Now he's back and getting faster every race. An unfortunate chain/derailleur mishap at the top of the course took him out of contention here, but he still managed to make up 11 places between the first split and the finish; all without pedaling!

Made up 11 places with no chain, and still had time to do stuff like this? The WC needs more riders like this. As usual Salute

I'm pretty sure he meant in the finals, as in not during qualifying....
