Dean Lucas

We’re back!! I’m here at the first round of the 2022 UCI Downhill World Cup open in Lourdes, France.

I first came to Lourdes in 2015 and was welcomed with a freshly built loamy track that had a little bit of everything in it, from technical rock gardens, steep shoots, fast turns, and massive road gaps it seemed to have it all.

The track hasn’t changed to much since then but has defiantly been ridden in more making it a lot faster in section. In 2016 & 2017 we saw trickier conditions with the weather playing havoc on everyone, we even saw snow having to be cleared off the track before practice on Friday.

Now we’re back in 2022 and the build team here has done an amazing job giving new life to an old favorite of mine, with freshly shaped turns, new natural section that should cut in amazingly, and even a new whoop section it should keep us on our toes all weekend.

Jump on board and take a run down with me checking out the course on my timed training run. 27th on this run.—Dean Lucas

Might be a good idea to give Dean Lucas' bike a cuddle after that. Wow!

Another level huh. Then you look at the qauli results and he was down 10.6 on Loic Bruni for some perspective. Most enjoyable POV run for sure so far, props to a kick ass ride down the hill.

Why did they skip Lourdes the last 4 seasons? Seems like a great track.

Holy crap Dean Lucas looks fast and precise.
