烈日、飛塵、巨石、星條旗,這是今年的南非站。今年的世界盃,選手以激烈程度破表的表現展開序幕。大家注目的美國選手Aaron Gwin,以踩踏為設定的比賽用車出賽,終於跑出過往應有的成績。這場比賽他以Enduro級車輛加上雙肩前叉,果然解決了南非站這邊令人苦惱的平坦踩踏路段。有些車手同樣使用Enduro車,甚至使用單肩前叉,不過就如大多數騎乘正規下坡車的選手一樣,還是敗給了Gwin。選手在這條賽道上的極速(每小時70公里)是在其他地方找不到的,再加上穿插其中的巨型土坡與亂石區,這對所有人都是個大難題。但只有一個人能取得最後勝利,他是唯一在這裡,Greg的家鄉,擊敗過他人。

Party faces
在南非Pietermaritzburg這邊決賽的這一天,派對的時間到了。

UCI World Cup 2014
Pivot車隊從接駁點又踩了好一段距離進行最後一趟練習。

Connor Fearon在陰影處乘涼,將自己帶入競賽狀態。

The shuttles are a huge part of the Pietermaritzburg world cup experience. You ll hear all kinds of conversation in a 40minute journey with 8 riders onboard. Ultimately the shuttle system means riders only get one pratice run on race day after only 3 to 4 runs per day in the week.
這邊的接駁車是個特別的體驗。在40分鐘的上山車程裡,你會聽見8位車手間各種八卦話題。這樣的接駁系統,使大家在決賽當天只有一趟練習的機會。賽前當週,每天也只有3、4趟的機會。

Literally always wear a helmet.
大家在車上都還是戴著安全帽。

Sam Hill laying down some South African heat.
Sam Hill克服了南非的酷署。以平踏板跑出只有6秒的落後,還一度跑出最快的分段計時。2014年值得注意。

Whips scrubs and pedaling in the air. All in an effort to squeeze as much time out of each section of track.
甩尾、轉壓、踩踏,這些動作通通發生在空中。Sam Blenkinsop在每一段試圖削掉任何時間。

This track was the ultimate season opener. If you weren t fit it had moments of hard pedalling that would crush your lungs. If weren t strong it had moments of speed that would blast your hands from the bars. And it had technical sections even the top riders had not mastered by final practice. There are few courses that pose such a range of super-human challenges.
這條賽道是絕佳的開幕賽道,如果你還沒準備好,平地踩踏路段絕對讓你爆心跳。如果你不夠強壯,這裡高速的崎嶇路況,絕對讓你抓不住車把。許多頂尖選手甚至在最後一趟練習,都還不能掌握住某些技術路段。少有賽道能夠提供這種超級挑戰。

Pietermaritzburg may be the most demanding of the tracks when it comes to being fit where the bottom half requires an all out effort in order to stay on top. Luca Shaw was feeling the burn after his winning run. Those who won clearly were able to dig deep and push past all the pain that this track dishes out.
南非站是最需要顛峰體能的賽道,在末段你必須榨出所有體力保持領先。Luca Shaw經過終點取得勝利後,感到身上傳來的疼痛。贏家必須是能吞下所有賽道帶來痛苦的人。

The track in South Africa is exhausting and it is plain to see in the riders faces as they cross the line.
這條南非賽道令人精疲力竭,你從選手經過終點後的表情就能理解。

Carpenter拿下冠軍。順著排位賽的節奏,Manon還比Rachel快了3.908秒。Rachel這週都在與身體不適對抗,最後還是沒辦法拿下勝利。

Sam Blenkinsop coming in hot at the finish nearly repeating Sam Dale s spectacular show. Blenki was 4 043 seconds off the podium today. Certainly not the result he was hoping for but teammate Loic Bruni would carry Lapierre to a fourth place spot. After Hannah threw down the gauntlet everyone that followed did their best to answer the challenge though only one succeeded.
Sam Blenkinsop衝過終點後也是驚險萬分,差點重演了Sam Dale的大摔車。Blenky差了4.043秒就能上頒獎台。這絕對不是他要的結果,但是隊友Loic Bruni位車隊拿下第4名。Hannah經過終點後,立下了成績門檻,後來所有車手,除了一個人之外,沒人能突破。

Sik Mik aggressive as always.
在Sick Mick排位賽煞車故障後,除了十足狂暴的追趕之外,大家不知道還能對他期待什麼。這天Mick總算對Greg報了去年在世界錦標賽的一箭之仇,但還是無法幹掉Gwin。Mick說他在初段有些失誤,使他損失了一些時間。

Adding to the strong American showings by Gwin Kintner and Shaw Neko Mulally had his best ever World Cup result today in 8th place.

Troy Brosnan downhill enduoring into the top 5 .
Troy Brosnan以Enduro用車拿下第5名。

The track in South Africa isn t best suited to smaller riders who often struggle to carry speed into the flat bits. Don t tell that to Troy Brosnan though as he was one of the fastest through the speed trap en route to a spot on the podium.
南非賽道並不適合個頭較小的選手,通常在平坦踩踏路段吃虧。但這不適用在Brosnan身上,他拿下分段計時前幾名,最後更拿下第5名。

Loic Bruni flying in through the line.

Josh在昨天排位賽跑出第2的成績,但是今天並沒有這樣持續的表現,時機還沒到位。他在第二分段計時領先,但是後來卻因機械故障落後。

American style over the last hip on the way to his win.
最後一個出發的人,刷新了所有人的紀錄,並且再次超越Greg Minnaar。

This is the Aaron Gwin we expect to see at the races. Focused flat out and putting time into his competitors at every split. After a disappointing 2013 it s pretty safe to say that Aaron is back amp on form this season.
這才是我們熟悉的Gwin。全神專注,在每一段計時都削掉秒數。經過了令人失望的2013年,我們可以說Gwin歸位啦。

PMB is the odd ball of the World Cup tracks but a win here looks promising for the rest of Gwin s season. We knew after yesterday that Troy and I would both be on the podium it was just a matter of where. We have a really dialed team right now and I m stoked to get the win. Now we just need to keep the momentum rolling.
南非站是個特殊賽道,拿下這邊的勝利,對Gwin而言,預示著今年他又將主宰世界盃。「昨天排位之後,我跟Troy就知道應該會上頒獎台,差別只是哪個位子。現在隊上所有條件到位,我很高興再次拿下冠軍。再來就是持續這個節奏。」

Gwin以咋舌的速度完賽,創下每個分段的最佳成績,極速接近每小時70公里。過了終點之後輪胎在地上燒出一條痕跡。

It s been quite a break since Gwin looked back on the green. Over 2 seconds up as a result of the fastest downhill mountain biking the World has seen so far and all on a machine that would have seen a less brilliant rider torn apart in the boulders.
Gwin過了終點停了一下才望向計分版上的綠色數字。快了世界冠軍2秒之多,用的卻是台非正規下坡賽車。

頂尖團隊,「順利完成任務的利器」車隊經理Eric Carter這樣說到。上天當天是站在Gwin這邊的。
