UCI DH World Cup 2020 - 2021 Season

[Headshot]

I suspect lederhosen would make good #enduro shorts. never need washing and great in a crash...

Some really exciting racing last night.

Daprela sticking to script and keeping things exciting, although you really have to feel for the guy. Glad he wasn't injured.

Vergier consistently fast, and probably the most fun loving guy on the circuit. His enthusiasm is infectious and you can't help but wishing him success.

Bruni, just an amazing competitor and love his interviews.

Finn Iles still fighting for his place at the top. I feel that next year we'll see some great things from him if he can learn from his experience this year. Bruni should be feeling the pressure.

So stoked for Reece. Great run, so precise and glad he's got his confidence back after Les Gets.

I just love DH, absolutely fierce competition yet the riders all seem to have such a great sense of comraderie and respect for one another.

Saturday is going to be fantastic!

Reece looked like he was pushing the ragged edge. Was worried he was going to bin it spectacularly

not sure I ever seen a race being won by a margin of 0.032 seconds...

anybody clever enough to work out what distance separated Reece Wilson (3min 10.066s) and Loic Bruni (3min 10.098s) ?

can't find info for the track length yesterday but 2019 was 3,36 km 

could it be that Reece won by 5.7cm ?

I am sure I saw a RBTV segment show a 300mm gap between the two of them ... so essentially a ruler length

That's crazy, nothing in it ...

Yeah, at the speeds these guys do 0.1s is usually about 1m at the finish line so 300mm sounds about right for that time gap.

Vali is just starting to show what she can do.

RE the overall ... Vali crashed out early in the first few races and had to just settle down .... she is there now, and will be a force to deal with in 2022.

Now Nina, 2022 will be the year she really breaks into the podium ... if she can stay on the bike, and I think she has figured that out.

The ladies XCO and DH racing has been really entertaining the last few years, and looks to be even better for 2022

Snowshoe seems to have a way of delivering the drama and surprises.
