May 21, 2022
by Pinkbike Originals  


After three years, we are back in Fort William after the longest break from this classic venue since it was first featured in the 2002 season. Last time we visited the Scottish Highlands we were treated to incredible performances from Amaury Pierron and Rachel Atherton.The course has seen small changes, but is largely as to be expected - gruelling in duration and rough throughout.

Who's looking fast this weekend? Ben Cathro is not only racing this weekend but also serving up the latest news to get you up to speed.

 Man I love Cathro, Rob, Tracey, Wyn and Elliot's content around the world cup. Hopefully they can all continue after the handover next season.

 World cup without Rob wont be any good no matter if they cover the entire run from 7 angles.

 Love cathros videos but since it's gone to pinkbike it seems to be coming out slower, like raceday is tomorrow (technically today as past midnight) and at the time of writing this no behind the the tape video.
That used to come out after practice.

 Looks rowdy. How's Reece going to do on home [wet] soil? Timed practice was a throw away.
