 The fact that he still comes up with some gems while riding that course is pretty unreal. That course is wild if it gets slick at all its going to be realllly hairy riding conditions.

 I think that's how it should be all the WC proper DH Wink
  • 15 1
 All the rounds have been proper DH so far, the UCI must be trying to make up for worlds being at Peitermaritzburg Wink

 I don't think they should all be like that, but it definitely needs to be like that to separate the "flow" riders from the "technical" riders and the most consistent will take the overall at the end of the season.

Very excited to watch this one!

 Is it just me, or is this track potentially one of the physically demanding ones out there?? I imagine fitness/strength/stamina/conditioning are going to be a huge factor here...

 They should stick to just one camera, changing the point of view all the time is pretty annoying... also, the chest cam makes the track look not that steep.
