It may have been torrential downpour throughout the weekend in the Highlands of Scotland for the second round of the UCI DH MTB World Cup, but that didn’t stop the tens of thousands of spectators from cheering on their favorite downhillers! In true Fort William fashion we saw more than a few tough hits taken by riders like Tahnee Seagrave, Loïc Bruni and Aaron Gwin.
The Women’s finals was what Rachel Atherton calls ‘the most nail-biting thing ever’ between her and Australian, Tracey Hannah with Hannah up in spilts 2 & 3. In the end, it was a British victory by just 1.611s.
In the Men’s race, after nearly crashing over the handle bars at the finish it was Commencal rider Amaury Pierron who put down the fastest time of 4m 28.578s. Aussie pinner, Troy Bosnan took second now putting him in the lead for overall points and last man down the mountain Loris Vergier went in third.

Personally, I'd like Red Bull to hire Helen Mirren to do DH commentary.
Excellent job Eliot and great podcasts.
Cathro for the "how"
Wyn for the "who"
And finaly, Eliot for the "why"
As you asked how the next one should be: for me pretty much the same. You got all the interesting bits of racing and mixed them up with very nice interviews. I also liked to see the progression of the event from qualies through to the race. Maybe add some juniors racing? (I also wouldn't mind if the vid got longer...)
thank you!
On the other hand... Don’t leave the microphone to Finn ever again (USA the best country in the world) yeah right...
So my only feedback is change nothing. You're killing it man. Keeep it up.
