Video Round Up: Practice at the Lourdes DH World Cup 2022

The first day of riding at Lourdes didn't exactly go to plan with long lift lines meaning most riders only managed a couple of runs before timed training in the afternoon. Check out some of the action from practice.

It's practice day sports fans.....and we spent most of the day lining up waiting for a lift...haha Other than that it was a sick first day on a rad track!— Bernard Kerr

Everyone is eager to get in practice runs on the Lourdes track, but it's a bit difficult to get up the hill.— Fox

Day 2 World Cup, today is all about practice and timed runs, was feeling super good in the morning and ready for the downhill track and getting back up to speed but unfortunately there were so many delays that meant we all couldn’t get as much done in as we liked.

However, getting up to speed and on this super sick track was wicked fun, following Luca Shaw down the track is always wicked and he goes fast as well.

Absolutely loving it out here, wicked to be back on the circuit and getting involved with the team. Onto more tomorrow— Brendan Fairclough

Ben Cathro

It's the first round of the 2022 World Cup DH season and Ben Cathro is on the ground to get you up to speed on which riders are looking fast on a track that requires maximum commitment.

Now i know why Pivots cost so much. Their pit is nicer than my house. Bernie this course suits your style. No excuse go win it.

Jordi. FOX's Jordi. Uses a *RockShox* digital fork pump?!

Haha, in his defense the Rock Shox and Fox digital pumps are the same pump with different labels.

Was that Daprela with the OTB on the Full Attack edit?

No it was Thibaut Ruffin, Commencal team manager.

@Med0c: Thanks, I wasn't sure (although I could tell it wasn't Pierron as no snazzy disco slippers).

Bernard Kerr is such a cool chill rider, FAF as well. Met him on home turf at West Verginia.

@7:01 -- this should be a separate category for sure

I'd hate to be Greg's mechanic - Greg's so damn picky.
