What. A. Run. Ronan Dunne went fully unhinged and absolutely went all out on this first place run in the finals of the second stop of the 2024 UCI Downhill World Cup Race. Jump on board with Ronan and get a first hand look what speed really means on a bike and why the racing at world cup is one of the best sporting events in the world to watch and see.— GoPro Bike
i swear his handlebars passed through a few trees there, hopefully the devs will sort that out in the next patch. incredible run and good job taking advantage of the bugs in the game
I had the same vibe immediately when watching... Dunne looked completely in the zone with how hard he leaned into the corners, how aggressive he cut into the bridges, almost shaved the trees - truly a fearless performance. After Hardline in Tasmania, I had no doubt we would see great things from the man
Said he felt like he was ready to fight somebody in the start gate. That run showed it. A man possessed! Rick said that somewhere in Poland there is a bar man that has no idea what is coming his way tonight.
I'd put that sticker also on my gravel bike top tube. At times the climbs are a bit much, but the legendary "shut up legs" has always felt a little too roadie for my taste.
@neoides: It's ridiculous they made golf and tennis olympic sports. Those athletes could care less. They're much more concerned with winning the majors. It would mean the world to these downhill guys and gals, much like the XC does.
@presidentcamacho: 100% with you! I would go further in saying that football, rugby, basketball, and generally most games should not be there. If the winner isn't chosen for being either citius, altius, or fortius (olympic motto) they shouldn't have a place in the olympics.
I'm unreasonably proud of that win, mates were saying here how wild it is to have two young lads from Ireland legitimately in contention for a podium/win at the world cups.
What I will say is, this video goes to show how good Bruni is as well. 0.064 back, and Ronan looked like he was fully disconnected from his brain on that run!!
@atomlab31: It's a unique riding style, if Bruni got this loose he'd either crash or blow off the pedals. It's his physical conditioning and strength that makes him look smooth, he's got the best bike control in the game. Ronan is throttling the life out of his bike listening to metal, and Bruni glides along listening to smooth jazz.
FFS shut up UCI
