UCI world champs DH - Brutal.

[My_Teenage_Self]

Just finished watching the mens DH on BBC iplayer - Blimey.

No spoilers, but I was on the edge of my seat ALL the way through. Some of the most buttock clenching racing I've seen in years.

Haven't watched the Womens yet, nor the Mens XC (Did see the Womens XC yesterday).


Epic.

Havent watched the race yet, going to later, but did watch a couple of course preview runs and walks the other day. Was hoping it dried out a bit for the race as some sections looked a bit sloppy

...Was hoping it dried out a bit for the race...

It did not.

Snow and rain.


And so much Mud.

Some truly epic bike control was shown by all, and the gold was 100% deserved.

Thumbs up for creating this thread! enjoying watching this a lot.

Yakboy - please can I suggest you edit out the spoiler?

26 years since i raced the DH in Vail, Colorado.

Watched the women.

It was more of a lottery than a race IMO, although the winner was clearly the best on the day.

Tracey Hannah was gutted.
