It was a great race, super unique and slyly technical track, "good" bad weather, upset results, loved it.

What I loved most was seeing Gee on the podium!!! That and how happy Gee was for Martin. One of my favorite things about mountain biking is the genuine sportsmanship of the most professional competitors.

And of course the last race of the circuit always has a great, very positive party vibe. Would have loved to have been there.

GT must've been lost for words when this happened, not a significant win for years, bring out a new bike that blows everybody's heads off and pocket a WC podium immediately with a rider that nobody would have though would do so, people will talk about this for ages, basically the perfect advertisement.

Gee and Rachel won the same World Cup on a new GT Fury not that many years ago.

Love the commentary “he goes down like a old woman on a cruise ship!”

With the DH season been finished so soon... Half of the top pros at least should be competing at the last 2 rounds of the EWS! For God saik IS pure downhill too! ..and so enjoyable... We see there isn t too much differences... Comming from DH pace is not a hard transition...

When itt comes to emotions coming from realizing what just happened it’s like Hill in Champery and VDS, Hart in Champery, Gwinny without the chain and in wet in MSA. What a show. At the same time Gee and more importantly Amaury, holy damn. The bar for World Champs show has been set quite high.

The first World Cup I've been to and it was brilliant. If you've never been to one, get yourself to a race next year, Great atmosphere, plenty of beer and top people. Already planning the next one!

Cannot wait till next week and next year!! Loved the Dh this season, just when you thought the top riders were unbeatable along comes an outsider to show anything is possible and Gee Atherton returns to form!! Ladies also been fantastic....

That was a beast of a run by Martin Maes! And it's an absolute crime that they didn't have it in the live feed. I hope they return the starting order back to qualies times like before. The current process is a right mess.

I don't what you guys saw at 4:34 in the XCO movie, but to me it looks like a pretty fast DH rider.

That friggin dab was epic

Looks like Langvad needs some skills sessions ! It was pretty poor how she was trying to challenge the top riders with B line choices and running mid track !

Will the videos actually work today?

Also, these guys need to rain-x their goggles. You can rain-x a car windshield and not need windshield wipers for days in heavy pouring rain. It's basically a lubricant/wax layer you polish onto any surface. It does kinda' ruin the lenses for anything else, but hey, they cost how much?

BamaBiscuits (Sep 1, 2018 at 16:55)

Rain—x doesn’t work with mud though. They’re not using the tear offs as much for water as they are for the mud/dirt
