Final Results: Val di Sole World Cup DH 2019

Aug 3, 2019 at 2:22
by Ed Spratt  
Laurie Greenland always goes well here and qualified tenth despite the rain.

The results are in from a wild day of racing in Val di Sole, for the Elite Men Laurie Greenland laid down an unbelievable run so take the win by nearly three seconds. Current series leader Loic Bruni couldn't quite take the win today but he will walk away with valuable overall points. The French couldn't take the win today but Loris Vergier and Amaury Pierron would closely follow Bruni to ensure there was still a strong French presence on the podium. Danny Hart would complete the podium nearly seven seconds off Greenland's time.

In the Elite Women's race, Marine Cabirou would take her first World Cup win after one of the most impressive runs in recent years. Tracey Hannah looked to be off the pace today but made it to the bottom in second to keep hold of her series lead. Camille Balanche and Veronika Widmann would both put down great runs that would see them easily place inside the top five and make their way onto the podium. Emilie Siegenthaler would have a return to form today securing a fifth-place finish. For the Juniors, it would be two new winners with Tuhoto-Ariki Pene and Mille Johnset taking the top spots.

6:35 am PDT: Laurie Greenland has ended the French winning streak.

 Seeing Davide Palazzari get super pumped for his 12th place made me smile just watching, especially everyone congratulating him. Maybe the extra pressure of going almost last and racing live gave him the boost needed to place higher.

 Was going to say the same thing. Ride of the weekend for me. And the enthusiasm shown by the top guys at the bottom for what he did was great to see.

 I think it was a great weekend for those guys who don’t normally make the live broadcast. They’re no slouches and it brought some more name recognition.
  • 7 0
 It was so good watching those guys come down with 50's plates on the live feed and put in top 20 runs. Almost as good as Greenlands win.
  • 3 0
 @Clarkeh: the austrian commentator on the german feed kept going how bad the startorder was and how aweful it was that the teams stood up against redbull which tried to make the bestplaced riders (overall) ride last. while doing so he not only missed the point, but also the great rides of the underdogs -what a clown. the german co-commentator (and rider) tibor simai cringed audiably but did not say anything. i hope they get replaced by the other german casterduo, which is actually great.
  • 1 0
 @optimumnotmaximum: I think the system they have in place now seems to work well. It rewards the top 5 who won qualifying but it avoids a situation when the entire broadcast is filled with guys who have no chance to win. Nothing makes for a worse broadcast than when a top rider starts early and sets a time, then you have to watch 20+ guys comes down who are 5 seconds off the pace by split two with no chance at winning.
  • 1 0
 @sino428: agreed, but it sounded like redbull is really pissed off by the system, thats why they showed 48 instead of 30 riders- to cover the better riders in the overall. While this may look like a good thing, the commentators statements made me wonder if there is another try coming out of redbull to mess things up.
  • 1 0
 @optimumnotmaximum: Redbull is broadcasting the event, their motive is to put on the best broadcast possible. So I can see why they don't want to see even 5 guys with no chance of winning coming down last. For some people its nice to see a riders who usually wouldn't get coverage get that chance, but realistically it makes for a pretty boring broadcast when usually the last 5 down is the most exciting part of the race.
  • 1 0
 @sino428: yes thats their view on the thing and with the last event they saw their view somewhat confirmed. but lets not forget with their system in place we have seen the flipside too - like Brook McDonald demolishing the field in qualies and starting far from last. I think there was also Gwin (?) coming back from injury winning and not beeing shown in the livefeed. All systems have potential drawbacks and the current system is good, i hope they dont change it -which again the commentator suggested.

 To be fair, Trummer isn't a privateer. He's just on a very small team, on a very small budget (if even). For sure the odds are not in his favor and it's awesome to see the underdogs do well.

 Question: What's going on these days with USA DH? Neko takes national champion two years in a row, but can't break 30 in World Cup. Is our scene lame in the US?

Signed,
Feeling Sad Frown
  • 1 0
 Neko really struggles with world cups for some reason. When Mitch Ropelato showed up this year I’m pretty sure he was inside the top 20. And although a little slower lately, Dakotah Norton has been up there. But the short answer is yes, the American racing scene is kinda lame compared to others. I was at National champs and was disappointed with the turnout.

 Neko probably also probably wouldn’t have won if Gwin and Shaw were there and healthy

 I think if we saw more tracks be as consistently technical and steep like Val di sol we would see a different set of people winning races more. This is why a mix of track types is good though. So many different winners because of different tracks.

 Just started watching the replay on RBTV and all they are showing is the open bit at top and open bit at bottom. Only up to joe Smith so hopefully they will show more of the track for later riders.
  • 3 1
 I think they normally just show the top 25 riders, but since qualifying would have put a number of potential winners out of tv coverage, it looks like they adapted to make sure you see a little of all those you came to see.

 Based on daprela and holl's results, I'd say we are in for another lottery round this afternoon

 What's with the mens coverage? Are they missing cameras or something? A few seconds at the top, couple from the middle then straight to finish line. Waste of time.

 Nevermind, that was just the outside of top 30 coverage.

 Crashed hard right in front of me, looked like she had quite a smack on the head

 She was at Tracey’s pace at split 2, but had a crash and a front puncture. Looked like a nasty hit on the head. Hope she’s fine.

 Increasingly looking like with Hoffman is either win it or bin it and shes having a hard time keeping rubber side down.On her defence so did many of the women.

 @miguelcurto: I'd say being on the front page all of a sudden is messing with her head

 @miguelcurto: yep, she's ended up in a mindset where she just goes at 120%, which looks great until you crash. It's okay to have a little fear sometimes. Vali Holl missed on the win and said she went slow this week because the track scared her, but I'd rather be last than concussed.

She's got a ton of attention and success as a very new rider and I think she needs to take a step back and figure out the speed vs risk vs capability balance - hard to do mid-season though.

 @Preachey: yep Nina showed a sort of burning head attitude in the last rounds, I think this one slow her down a moment!
