Best news I've heard all winter! I cannot believe how strong he is coming back! I'm kinda shocked that Filip got 2nd, haha. That guy is the master of urban DH.

Cedric is a badass for coming back so hard. 4th is a charm for almost dying a year ago. Props to all the riders, win or lose.

2 chilenos en los top 5! Felicitaciones Antonio Leiva y Mauricio Acuña. Hace unas semanas, en el Open Shimano en Bariloche, Argentina, Mauricio terminó primero, antes de CG. Es bueno ver a CG de vuelta en una bici!

Por cierto, es genial leer articulos sobre Chile acá en Pb!

2 Chileans in the top 5! Congrats Antonio Leiva and Mauricio Acuña. A few weeks ago, in Open Shimano DH race in Bariloche, Argentina, Mauricio finished first, before CG. I'ts nice to see CG back on a bike!

Verdaderamente en Sudamerica si hay mucho nivel... prueba de eso está el OPEN SHIMANO donde Ecuador fué bien representado por Mario Jarrin.. Y obviamente corredores de alto nivel como el ""lechón"" Gutierrez que ha hecho excelentes carreras..

Solo es cuestión de ganas.. esperemos asi mismo como leeemos cosas de Europa y Norte América encontremos más sobre el potencial de carreras y corredores q hay acá en nuestro contiente Saludos a todos!! y ahora q los demás aprendan español para q entiendan también nuestro comment jajaja..!!

So was that long stair section. Alot of the course looked terrifying at speed because it's so narrow.
