*** over built course. Never the less a great race.

Inside scoop ,the attached photo was my first choice for the Paris 2024 MTB venue. 

Course designers don’t have the final say in what happens during the construction phase. Hopefully this changes in the future.

Regards NF

Dm me if you have any questions on Course design.

No worries Nick. The French procurement system is a lesson in job creation and makes our tenderprenuering look like amateur hour. I have some experience of your pain.😂

Fantastic race to watch, and great commentary! (I'm overseas so watched the Eurosport commentary with the British guys...don't know what was offered locally)

Another masterclass by Pidcock, and a great ride by Alan.

@NickmtbTrails the course was still a superb product. If a course delivers exhilarating racing then it has exceeded the brief

How many lead changes in the final lap?

What a balls to the wall race from the start.  Riders always talks about full gas.  Yeah sure.

But this certainly was.

Alan showed massive BMT, composure and VASBYT!! 

Super result!!!!

TBH watching from the comfort of my couch I found the race somewhat boring, managing to fall asleep to wake up and see poor Lecompte lying face down…..and then waiting in vain for a replay to see what happened or to hear from the commentators if she was ok 

tbh I’m not sure if it was the track or the commentators/ tv coverage fault that I found it boring

 

Just watched a recording of the men’s xco, I take back what I said about the track 

TP, AH, VK and company brought it to LIFE, simply fantastic

Pahaha also not his biggest fan but you need them characters around...
