The 2023 Downhill World Cup racing continues as we have the Junior qualifying session ahead of tomorrow's finals live broadcast.
Erice Van Leuven dominated the Junior Women's field as she crossed the line a huge 14.844 seconds ahead of Lisa Bouladou. The 2nd to 5th-placed riders would be separated by under a second in an incredibly close fight for the podium spots.
For the Junior Men Ryan Pinkerton is continuing to show he is the rider to beat as he went 1.993 seconds up on Evan Medcalf. Hugo Marini ended his run 3.3 back and was the only other rider within six seconds of the top time.

Doesn't seem to have much in between with her results?
Must be nice to be able to bounce back like that from crashes, any one of those she's had this season would probably have me off the bike for a year!
Getting old sux. :-(
Thanks for clarifying the number of riders going through to finals.
So then frotha missed out by one place, too bad.
