It’s almost hard to understand how rad this racing is! The drama! The build up! It’s absolutely amazing! And I unfortunately fear when it isn’t in Red Bull’s hands anymore.
Definitely WELL into the DH Cup this year, agreed its got real energy and a vast array of names new and old of which we can see behind the scenes from their own Vlogs etc, long may it continue!
Amaury is ragged and raw power, Loris is more calculated. Both insanely fast. Not sure it makes sense to say Loris could have won without that crash.... I mean... he crashed right ? Anyway, I don't care these french riders are peaked right now and it is bloody amazing ! Fin for the win though, this kid has paid his dues and is riding within himself and absurdly fast. Jackson ?!??!?!?! wtf speed. imagine another year under his belt, body continues to grow and get stronger, another off season training with Fin in the sea to sky. A whole other host of fast canadian juniors on the rise... me thinking France vs Canada for the DH of nations title in 2023 ! lezzz go !!!
Pierron was above everyone, he won while he made a mistake and lost something like 3 seconds, and the mistake was at the top, meaning he managed to re focus and find his rythm back!
@andrewbmxmtb: Postman pat, Postman pat, Postman pat ran over his cat, All its guts went flying, Pat was really crying, Pat will never drink and drive again.
Thanks! It's so unfortunate that they have to talk about a race moment without ever showing it because rights for the race footage is so unnecessarily strict.
If pink bike isn't already doing it, they need to do a piece on how/why France is absolutely crushing the scene right now. From the ground up - what have they done to support the sport
I thought it looked like Greg Minnaar punctured in the rocks up top. Front wheel went into a compression and a puff of dust or sealant (?) appeared where the tyre touched down. Must have sealed up alright, though.
Yep noticed that as well... but even if it sealed (which I think it did), you lose a good amount of pressure when you burp like that. At this level, he definitely would have noticed the difference in support and traction... then it's in your head... confidence goes down as well.
Well Ben, I’ll oppose your theory. The easiest comparison is with Finn because they were pretty much dead even at split 2. After the fall, Finn was up by 3.988 (int 3), up by 4.352 at int 4 and up by 4.567 at the finish. So dead even at int 2 and Finn was faster in int 4 and 5. Amaury was ahead of Finn by only 6/100’s at split 4 but 8/10ths at the finish. The race was won in interval 5. What happened there? See you in Fort William!!
How do you set a filter to remove any article with the word Lourdes in it? I find myself spending so much less time here since Outside bought it for some reason… maybe some tools will help clean it up a bit. Also any paywalled articles being invisible would be nice.
You could argue if postman pat wasn’t delivering letter he would have won
Postman pat ran over his cat,
All its guts went flying,
Pat was really crying,
Pat will never drink and drive again.
Although, I do have to ask, why is Ben wearing a cardigan around his neck?
So happy down hill racing is back
