It's finally time to start World Cup Downhill racing in 2018! The riders and teams have rolled into the new coastal venue of Lošinj, Croatia where a fresh challenge lays in wait. Talk of wheel and tire torture has been abundant - will mechanicals play a part in the out come of the race? After a long winter of team changes in regards to both riders and components, there was plenty to snoop at in the pits of Lošinj. Scroll down and whet your appetite for racing on Sunday.
Vee tires are yet another fresh addition to Propain's specs.
