The top men's time are super close! One more / less pedal stroke or speed tuck could make a difference.

Kinda forgot about Nina, she sat out the last round due to a light concussion iirc. It's great to have such a competitive women's field now. Would like to see Rachel vs Holl when she makes her return.

I recognize teeni bits of the track. The bit where the dam is is where one of the bikepark black trails start and there's a few bits where they use the black. Those jumps in the woods. are park of the black. What the video doesn't show is that those jumps are actually very large. And that hill is k@k steep

 

Normally you can only access the bottom half of the mountain with bikes. The top half is walkers only. Wellllll you can ride UP the fire road but why would you when you have access to the skilifts.
