We are already more than half way through the season and the current standings of the iXS European Downhill Cup are not decided yet. Three out of five races are done and although Jure Zabjek is leading the overall by a proper margin the last race in Schladming showed that it is not over until it's over. As Zabjek was going for his third win the tall Slovenian crashed out and would finish outside the top 10 giving his competitors the chance to close the gap.
Spicak in the Czech Republic might be the big game changer as it is a track where things can go wrong fairly fast. The course designer did their job and was working hard to present the riders a modified track which might seem less challenging but after the first practice session, all the riders agreed it is full of difficulties and up for some great downhill racing.
With sunshine pretty much all day long the conditions could not have been any better today and riders were enjoying their runs but they all know this is not going to last as the forecast looks miserable for the rest of the week.
