karoliusz- Except in Leogang it wasn't an XC track

Although he would probably sprint with the bike on his shoulders and win.

but they have gonadolas as well and trails like pump trakcs so Gwin could win there

"The daring digging dirt show" and still have yet to see any digging? I wana see more on how they laid the course out and the building phase of the whole process, maybe some numbers like steepness grades or how wide they made the track and why. They just jumped from scoping the lines to track testing.

There was some actual digging shown for the DH build

I agree that it would be cool to see more of the middle of the process

I rode the course at an amateur event the day before the race in this video. It is challenging an tough. There are some sections that are very hard to clear, and as they say, bad weather will make it impossible. The track are located at quite high altitude, about 2000m above the sea if i recall correctly, which might also play a role during the race.

Is it something like an XC version of Claudio's track preview?

Claudio did one last year with Old Man Jose Hermida.
