Here's my race day vlog from Leogang where my teammate Luca Shaw grabbed a podium after putting down an epic run in finals. I'm stoked with my 3rd place in Semis but wanted a bit more for finals. Check out all the action here and see you all again in Val Di Sole in a couple of weeks!— Troy Brosnan

World Cup #2 was a wild one! From dusty to wind and rain and back to dry.

We had a soid week as we learned a lot and the boys had good performances although they got a bit unlucky with the weather and a technical in their racerun.

Mike had a very solid final run as one of the first riders in the wet, which put him in to 9th (u19)

Lino had a very good rund in his qualifying until he had an unfortunate technical problem - 68th (elite men)

We are already looking forward to Val di Sole in a few weeks' time and now enjoy a week off to recharge the batteries.— Gamux Factory Racing

Leogang has become a classic on the circuit and somewhat of a favourite amongst the technically adept riders. Here's what you need to know to get up to speed with the weekend's action.

Troy Brosnan's Qualifying POV

Dialed

It's time for qualifiers in Leogang, but the inconsistent weather is making the day challenging.— Fox

Dean Lucas

Today was a rather average day out to back up last weeks effort. I felt good on the bike and seemed to still have some speed after crashing in practice yesterday, however my front wheel bailed on me on a high speed corner and I got yard sailed pretty hard.

Racing eh! Crashes happen, still would have rather not left a skin donation on the side of the track though! Onto the next!— Dean Lucas

Bernard Kerr

Leogang can always be a wild one and today was a close 2nd to the covid year race...we had the Junior race put on hold due to wind and rain and then the same mid-Qualy for the Elite men....madness!— Bernard Kerr

Rachel Atherton's Qualifying Run POV

Rachel Atherton throws down a 6th place finish in the qualifying heats of the Women's Elite class in Leogang for the 2023 UCI Downhill MTB World Cup Series.— GoPro

Day 2 Raw - FullAttack

Dean Lucas

Took my GoPro with me for practice today and it was fast, dry and loose as hell! There are some alternate lines out there but it's essentially just fast as all hell and dry for the first time we've seen in Leogang for quite some time!

I took a decent dig to the head early on which didn't feel great but I came good in the arvo on the bike, if a little tense in the top section where I went down!

Qualis today, let's see how it goes!— Dean Lucas

@RUTSANDFUN: good for you guys!

justanothermatt (Jun 15, 2023 at 5:51)

Lots of pros saying the course is too fast. I wonder if the UCI will make any changes to slow it down?

on-the-move (Jun 15, 2023 at 9:37)

They do every year, then they made a slow wood section that's steep and now it got faster too.

AyJayDoubleyou FL (Jun 16, 2023 at 3:32)

too fast as in dangerous, or too fast as in very short run times?

PocoBoho (Jun 16, 2023 at 5:30)

Is this even a DH course? No jank, no chop. Bring on the enduro bikes.

danstonQ (Jun 19, 2023 at 6:48)

@PocoBoho: patience mate, Val du Sole is coming next and it's gonna punk hxc
