 Keep an eye out for Asa Vermette there- He's been beating a lot of our top guys in US DH races (Luca, Gwin, Neko), lots of potential to shake things up in WCDH in the future!

 I would not call this an "Everything you need to know". More or less a "Pending Schedule". No riders list. No, where to watch (assuming Redbull TV). No, who to watch out for? Really no information aside from where and potentially when (all time subject to change).

 It’s all on Red Bull TV. Start list for dh hasn’t been released but for WC riders looks like Trek, Pivot Norco and Mondraker teams are there. syndicate, specialized, Commencal teams are not.
