 Sorry for the non-french speaking fellows, and you miss some pearls, but the spirit is good, extra good.
Mostly, Daprela speaking with his cut tongue and broken nose saying "what did you think? when you have to do it, you just do it! today don't except anything special, but tomorrow..."
Special healing vibe to Amaury BTW Wink

 The commentary on the creek gap segment early on is almost too much to handle

 Is there a B-line around that creek/river gap? If not, there's going to be a lot of DNFs. This course is insane and if it stays dry, its going to be incredible.

 I love this video! So refreshingly different from the usual style that seemingly everyone and his mother uses.

 The catch berm after the gap looks awesome

 @baileygs: There's gonna be a huge time penalty for that ride around. As it is they can barely turn enough to line up the gap at speed, let alone go even farther to the left...

 How about Marine Cabirou? Just watched Bernard Kerr's video and it sounds like she hurt herself pretty bad on the road gap.... does anyone (Pinkbike) know more?
  • 3 0
 I think it’s bad. It’s been silent regarding how she is…

 @nskerb: I hope not. I hope it's just a time difference thing. I wish I knew more... very concerned.

 Vital had a video on their story but it cuts before impact. Fingers crossed.

 Awesome track! I'm hoping the conditions don't change too much between now and Saturday. This has the makings of an epic race.

 Got to be a really hard course that makes pros look like your average weekend warrior. Hope we don’t get a string of injuries. Loose fresh cut and slippery stuff leading into massive gaps and step downs. Looks like a recipe for bad juju

 According to the few words he says it sounds like Daprela from commencal gonna race! So glad he recovered from last weekend crash!

 For his own safety I hope he isn’t racing without having had the necessary concussion checks. He broke his nose and almost chewed his tongue in half. Fingers crossed

 Wow, this race is going to be intense! I hope all of those "checkers or Wreckers" riders reel it in a bit for this one!

 Didn't we just talked about riders getting injured because the tracks have become too dangerous? And here we are getting hyped on the giant gaps. We are part of the problem.

 That Norco, is that the Range or what?
  • 1 0
 Apparently not. They developed the Range on the basis of this dh platform, but it has been said that there are differences between the frames. I couldn´t find any more info on it so far though.
  • 1 0
 @Loki87: at vital you can see shots at the pits. Said to be a range frame to test and develop the new DH.
  • 4 0
 Apparently it's the range frame with different dropouts and linkage to give it more travel and the kinematics for DH. I imagine if testing goes well they will stop making the aurum and sell a range DH and a conversion kit for current range owners. I expect to see a lot more of this, GT seem to be doing something similar too. DH bike sales are very low, so developing and enduro bike that you can swap some parts on and make into a 200mm travel downhill bikes makes a lot of sense for bike manufacturers, saves on a lot of cost of developing a DH bike that probably doesn't cover the cost of development.
