Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.

Just incredible to see a privateer up there. What cap is she wearing there?

Could Crans-Montana turn out to be The Hardest XC Track EVER?

Will there be any safety concerns and changes made on request from UCI?

Bliksem, Rider safety was not the number 1 priority when developing that course. So many places where you might end up crashing yourself into a ambulance.

Luckily it is all Pro's tackling that course as a weekend warrior will walk 90% of it. 

One lapse of concentration and you will find yourself in the dentist chair getting a new grill.

Those slippery when wet log paved landings and corner plus the very jagged rocks between the two lanes they created on the rocky drop off look dodgy. I would not be surprised if some changes are made before the race.
