UCI DH World Cup 2020 - 2021 Season

Wonder if Gwinnnn is going to feature at all this season again.

That was a deserving win that had me cheering. He took it easier up top and had more gas for the bottom. Clever racing. Deprela is a bit too young but he will get there unless he breaks himself too many times along the way...

All I can say is that was one hell of a first episode!

That run of Daprela..he was so aggressive in that top half. I cant believe he stayed on... a name to be watched though! If he didn't stall in the woods he would have smoked everyone, although I am very happy for Troy. How can one not be. Theres a lot of hungry, fast French riders at the moment. 

Going to enjoy seeing the usual heroes trying to keep these talented young guns in check. 

Vergier and Vali was my fantasy league top pic. It wasn't my best.

His jump from the tunnel onto the wall (yesterday) was very cool

You can see the onboard video of his run on the Red Bull Bike Facebook page.

Les Gets is going to be BONKERS in 2 weeks time. The odds of a non French winner are slim IMO. Social Distancing? Not so much.

 

I want to go there again. Just ONE last time. Vir Oulaas. I'll send the chatel river gap this time. I promise.

Track looks damn near perfect Limited bikepark, multiple line options, off camber, some very steep sections. Will make for great racing. Man, woudl love to have something similar to play on around here ????
