Video: Champéry Opening Day RAW

 same, i came off there first time cos i hesitated too much

 Go for the bar drag! Strap on your Danny Hart balls and slap that turn son !

 exactly the same happened to me there in very muddy conditions... damnit!

 I know right, it has so much potential to still be on the WC circuit. It's steep, technical, flowing with jumps... damn it UCI!

 Unfortunately it isn’t the UCI decision where to host World Cups.

 @raph-champery: Ohhh, who is it who decides?

 @motorcrosser12: the village of Champery has to reapply for it. But it will probably never happen again cause it's a massive budget they can't afford.

 @raph-champery: I'm guessing the budget too pay off the UCI.....Money talks with them!!!... It's the same as paying off the Olympic board to have a Olympics in a country! Its a dam Shame really corruption is every where in sport!!

 @verticaljusticebiking: not only the UCI fee, but also all the logistic you need to set up for such an event, it's all at the organisator expense and it's quite a budget. In Switzerland the country doesn't contribute financially to those events.

 It’s not possible as there is still tons of snow if you were thinking about riding across Col de Cou.
The only way is driving.

 go for the black one in Morgins, top to bottom....

 Naw, you'll be alright. There were some single-crowners in that vid. Just ride to your ability. Would ride my Giant Trance there in a heartbeat rather than not ride at all.

Plan B: See about a rental.
