Team Video Round Up from the Leogang World Cup DH 2021

DorvalAm/Commencal


After a good winter preparation season, we were confident about the preparation of the bikes, the shape of the drivers and their motivations. After this short and special 2020 season, which still smiled at us, we all wanted to know if we could confirm our progress. We can say these things done! Our new little nugget Alix Francoz started the day with a 12th place in the Junior category for his first World Cup despite a crash. Learning continues, but talent and speed are already present.

The women’s elite race was as if in a dream, our two women made a solid, clean, flawless run from start to finish.

"I was pretty confident coming into Leogang, I guess the muddy conditions helped to remind me of what I’m capable of. That confidence grew over the weekend during practice, it was amazing to be able to execute the run exactly how I imagined it!" - Camille Balanche.

We knew pretty quickly that we were going to see DorvalAm/Commencal jerseys on the podium, but in passing the last competitor is the explosion, a remake of the World Championship. Camille won the Leogang World Cup and Monika finished 3rd. What a race !

It’s the most exciting part of the year with World Cup racing beginning in Leogang, Austria! It would be Steven Walton & Nik Nestoroff who would be making the European trip to compete at the highest level of racing. They would be flying from Los Angeles, California all the way into Munich, Germany to race. A lot of pre-trip planning and documentation would go into this trip to make it as safe as possible and following the CDC guidelines. Nik and Steven would be showing up one week in advance before the first round. To dial in their KHS Downhill bikes and get their feet underneath them with time changes, jet lag, language adjustments and do some overall testing to adjust to the European Alps.

Full report here.

Leogang was the final test for the team. After working very hard during the winter, it was the moment of truth.
In episode #2 we explain a bit about how we do the track walk, how Pau and Angel prepare for the training, qualis and final and you can see how we lived the two finals and Pau's victory.

New helmet for Pau, we reveal the Supreme Prototype and much more that you can see in the video. We are very happy and motivated by the way the season is starting. Now it's time to keep working for next weekend.
