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.

The website is so confusing. Was waching last years race for a few minutes, than fount out the jerseys were from last year.
There have been a few events I've gotten up in time, but this one I was gone camping, so only watched when I came home.

*You have my sword....
"Well sometimes you win sometimes you loose! My mental game was just not on it the whole weekend, it was weird being scared of the track and the weather, was just not enjoying it. But it is how it is. Congrats to @millejohnset you’re crazy! But good to get a kick in the ass again, super pumped to shred fast next week"
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.
I blame Cathro for showing us all the exciting bits we're missing it on ????.
There is nothing ridiculous about the women’s performance, they are training their arses off and pushing the limits of their physiology just as the men are.
So no, what you’re saying isn’t trolling, it’s just straight up incorrect.
