The full results are in from Mont-Saint-Anne and wow what a race! In the Elite Men's the final riders put everything into their runs and it seemed like each run would be impossible to beat. It was Loic Bruni who would emerge the victor and take another World Champs title. The silver medal would go to Troy Brosnan who was in touching distance of gold but would have to settle for 2nd position, only
0.581 back. Amaury Pierron could not match the top two riders' pace being over two seconds back but he still laid down a run deserving of the bronze medal.
In the Elite Women's it would be the riders fresh from injury that would dominate the day with Myriam Nicole taking the rainbow jersey closely followed by Tahnee Seagrave. Hot on their heels and coming off two World Cup wins, Marine Cabirou takes the bronze medal in Mont-Sainte-Anne. For the Juniors, Vali Höll took her final World Champion title as a Junior and the Australian Kye A'Hern secured an impressive gold medal result.

He's in a proper imperial stage right now. Incredible.
Next year!!!!
it was just a crazy race with crazy moments
Great interview, really enjoyed that one.
What a party at the ladies, next year:
Myriam Nicole
Rachel Atherton
Thanee Seagrave
Vali Höll
Marine Cabirou
Nina Hofmann
Tracey Hannah
...all good for a win
Is it because it's such a long and strenuous course that the older women outpower her?
"Zee Demeaux not so bad a bike, eh?"
Get well Bulldogg!!

Right now I have the stream coming to my phone, airdropped to my AppleTV to watch it on the big screen w/sound system. A Mac computer would work just as well.
Still, hope this whole fiasco changes.
Top that with a couple adds from big companies and we just might have a professional production on our hands! ...If only.

And Minnaar is the REAL Masters champion!
He is the only member of UCI MTB Hall of fame who never won a world cup?
So gutted I really thought he had it!
P.S. I know there is a MTB hall of fame but here is a request to have a World Cup hall of fame. It should be in Garibaldi or Squamish. Most who are coming to whistler for MTB would stop by so you could get a lot more visitors than Marin MTB Museum. You can also have previous bikes and other paraphernalia like the Devinci that Stevie won the WC overall or the chainless bike that Gwen won his WC. Damn I would pay to see those and more. Make it happen!!
I would really know what all the other girls are thinking. Being beaten by someone who won a gold medal doing a chicken line should make me think a lot about my racing skills
marine also excels in rock/tech, vs. tracey excelling in high speed and jumps.
Hart’s consistency is phenomenal this year, and while he may not take the top spot overall he’s gotta be close to it. Aside from Les Gets he’s been top 5 every race, something only Pierron and Bruni challenge.
the last points totals after lenzerheide are in this vital article
www.vitalmtb.com/news/news/FINAL-RESULTS-2019-Lenzerheide-World-Cup-Downhill,1271
but yeah, I was cheering for all the riders, Greenland could be up there as well, Hart, too! All of them!
Way to go le Frejussien!
So I missed the whole top four ????????????

At least towards the end of the DH today, the two guys were getting somewhat animated. But earlier on...crikey!
It would be much better with Rob...you can take or leave whoever he is with, but at least Rob has knowledge and actually sounds like he has a pulse
Bur Bruni was in a League on his own. Again! Amazing
Enjoy!
For the contenders they showed the whole thing from 2 minutes down. Wish they had cameras at the top, but oh well.
