After a mid-season break, the DH World Cup is finally back with racing kicking off in Maribor this week on a revised track. With a good number of new features on course, check out the rider reactions from the track walk.

UCI World cup Maribor track walk. What a day walking this insane downhill track was so rad. I have some amazing memories from this place. After having two World Cup podiums here in the past I always have such great memories.
Downhill bike is built and fully prepped for tomorrow, Track looks insane, We’re ready to light it up. This track has it all. Bikepark turns natural new loam turns amazing new jumps it’s got everything a downhill racer could ask for.— Brendan Fairclough
Were back. A little time at home after our first set of races was a good break, time to recuperate and get ready for the last chunk. Were back at the Slovenian track that is Maribor, but this year we seem to be in some sort of heatwave. 35° degree heat makes for a bone dry and fast course. Here's just a little look at what we are tackling this week.

makes no sense....especially since the original grass ending (pointed out by Ben in his post today) is just before the turn into the pavement. (maybe they want to limit the impact on the grass so they don't have to re-sod??)
Your the only person who seems worked up though.
