On vertical desense line with roots and the dolomites but there is one track that stands above them all only the very very fastest win here this is where Champions come to be crowned well hello and welcome everyone this is it the big one downhills big big
Day finals day in mon St an in Quebec in Canada it doesn’t get any more exciting than this a venue we’ve been coming to for over three decades is set to decide the elite men’s title Elite wom has already been wrapped up but there is a second place battle that should boil
Over nicely my name is Rick mclin joining me in the booth as we get ready for the women’s semifinals Cedric GR say it Cedric it’s just it’s a different it’s a different game today isn’t it different game hello everyone benen they’re going to be a big one
Today like you say second and third place is going to be all down to the line of the final today yeah well let’s have a look at the schedule and see how it shapes up downhill semi-finals for the elite women getting us underway at quarter to 5 Central European Time then
From 7:00 on the elite women’s final 8:00 downhill men’s final four Riders going for an overall title tomorrow all about cross country Olympic men on 23 getting us underway at 3:00 Central European Time and then the elites on track from 7:00 some big weather predicted for that
One for now it’s behaving itself things are holding up this track in mon St an in arguably the best condition I think we’ve ever seen it they’ve done so much work here you’ve ridden it yes uh the track bin worked on like new parts is perfect that mix some of the corner with
A little bit of dirt and concrete just to let the moist do the job at of a night but uh track is really challenging like those wood section especially those Rock section the two last Rock section just like really hard to get the line you know when you you know tired and
Cross eye well let’s find out who we’re going to be talking about today then Valentina Hall has an unable lead in the overall but it is her last race for that team Rock shocks track race team and you do get the feeling she’d like to go out
With to win yes you want to you know this is game on Nina Hoffman she’s done well here in the past she’s won in Andor earlier in the year and if she wants to take second place in the overall today she needs to finish higher than this woman Marine cabaro
Scott Factory downhill has won the last two rounds winning in mon danu a very very different thing can she do do it for the first time today Monica harnik loves the technicality loves the physical challenge off this track has been riding well all year long can she cap it off with a
Win tny SE grave what a comeback story this one has been she’s been on the podium throughout this season she’d love to finish it by getting her ninth UCI World Cup win as I said then all to play for for that second place and the calculators
Can be put away mercifully for this one because it’s dead simple whoever finishes higher between Hoffman and cabaro will take that second place the way things stand at the minute just 29 Points the difference between them then it’s rasnik Balan SE of hem Street Affton blue it Gloria garzy 13th hasn’t
Done them all but whenever she has she has been extremely impressive Chara hearn’s in there as well in 17th Fergus and 18th hatti Hardon in 19th Place Tre Factory racing well they are getting ready to go it’s getting crowded there like always it is in mon Santan you know for so many
Years like the public is just waiting for this race yep let’s check out there in the battle for second place have to keep that rolling nowar going fast here in snowe West Virginia is it going to be FAS to the win the big triple she did back in 19 mararo goes fastest in
Sowo the win in Snowshoe was really amazing for me because I when I wake up in the morning I feel really like oh the truck is a bit dangerous I don’t want to be Ure again so I will try to ride fast but don’t want to take big risks so I
Try to ride at my best I have a good run I did some little mistake but I think everybody did some mistake on this kind of track and I was really happy to to get the first playe when I cross the finish line and when I see the valy
Valley run it was also tight so I was really happy to take the r yeah snow should been a tough race the tracks just tough and dangerous and I had a pretty big crash in semi-finals oh no boy Hoffman star halfman died at the top of
The woods I had a big struggle to get my head together to put down a good run pretty stoked actually that I was able to obviously I was not going for win like the hunger for win was a bit missing after that crash um but still
Stoked that I got a second place in the end but gutted that it was just three of the win um but I mean that’s racing that’s okay and uh yeah just makes it more exciting for this round now I definitely need to beat Marine here to
Protect my second uh my second place in the overall and I do want to do this it’s going to be tough because Marine is on the high Marine has two wins in her pocket now and this going to carry her into this this race and keeps her up but
Um I think I can still do it if I get it all together and um I’m actually pretty stoked how the track looks and Keen to race and Keen for the last race of season and to finish it every year it’s faster Everybody Ride faster every year
So it was it’s really amazing and it’s really cool to see the the girl sport improving like that and for sure we need to ride faster every time and everybody want to win so we have to fight for the win and to ride faster so yeah I think
Now I’m back and I’m ready for for the fight is last weekend yeah track M then is quite long it’s like 5 minutes last year going to be slightly shorter this year but not much um and also quite high speed in some sections really Rocky at
The end so it’s hard for your hands in general quite fun if you get it together and you get the flow it’s it’s a good track and good fun I really like this track it’s a really good one especially this year there is a new Port we looks
Really crazy and really amazing to ride I can’t wait to ride them it’s a place I really like to ride it’s always special to be here uh I definitely happy where I am especially how the season started and now I’m sitting in the second in the
Overall that is pretty pretty good so um I’m definely Keen to defend that one and and take it home hi help hope I hope I can do three in a row that will be amazing to end the season and give me full confidence for next season it’s a goal to to win
Another one after the two next the two last wins so I hope I can do that but we will see I think everybody’s ready for the battle and everybody want to win so it will be a difficult One well they definitely broke the mold when they made the two of these Riders cabaro plays Hoffman six podiums each this season gives you a clue to how close they have been a third and a second place here between them absolutely nothing to choose between marine kabiru and Nina
Hoffman Scott down hill Factory Santa Cruz Syndicate and we have a bit of news for you it has just started bucketing down here in mon now well Cedric there’s one saying down Hill one thing is guaranteed it will Reen and mons and and it is reing out there at the minute let me
There I think all those race I did here I think I did it in the rain and always practice it in the dry well I guess that’s what it is let’s have a look at the track then talk us down this one CG uh out the gate Rock
Section right away we getting into the switch back I speed and the first wood section right there really ice speed as well but a little bit broken now we cross the first key slope and now the long wood section really kind of awkward and slow I speed I speed I speed and the
Two last Rock Garden where I think a lot of things are going to happen today it’s just like they’ve been there forever there’s no dirt left it’s hard well here’s how you go on on Course welcome to mon last round of the W Cup today it’s sunny let’s send it let’s go let’s go go well Legend been made big rock G and right on the gate different lines I guess here little double w pretty moist still different line inside here and all of a
Sudden it’s already in the game already fast couple drops here woo it’s took left corner so hard to be in the timing though and now it’s sand sand into the speed it’s fast oh F and the first wood section wo it’s coming now big holes everywhere you can see the
Track already a little bit bit going to be worst getting fretch so far but you can see some moist area big big gun press oh hard to get upper line there fresh air still now here we have to stay on the top woohoo big drop it’s a tighter here and not much
Light hard to carry the momentum there through through the spit time they Tred to follow that head woo big stepper oh Dusty look how much dust it is already oh oh big drop oh that corner is already destroyed oh he’s pulling at me he’s pulling at me oh oh I’m going to go
Outside the track but if it rain it’ be a different story oh Big B be careful T of z rocks under those beautiful grass I guess inid line here to jump last jump R there we go that’s your PR run in mon San I’m glad I survive the battley
H well hello everyone welcome to the UCI downhill World Cup finals from monin and my name is Rick mclin joining me in the booth the man you’ve just seen on course Cedric Gracia as it is raining in monin and Quebec as if this wasn’t a more intim as if this wasn’t intimidating Place
Enough down world we are going to go it has just got very very wet CG different place in the r isn’t it as we look at the start list here different place definitely is going to be a little bit slower but maybe a little bit safer in
Term of speed but bike is going to sideways on the Rock section nothing is more guaranteed than rain and mons and so here’s our start list and the business end the things rasnik yonet seagra Hoffman and cabaro that battle for second place in the overall comes down to who finishes faster between them
Valentina hole fastest and qualifying yesterday so that’s towards the finals that title will be decided but the top three protected really been the class of the field this season we’re getting ready for for the semi-final where we will take 10 plus any of the protected Riders outside of
That through to the finals later on today just having to check myself a we bit this is exciting finals well we have a nice window outside look like the range just stop at the bottom it was quite heavy rain but it didn’t rain for a long time here I don’t know if the
Terrain we stck the rain or would just be a river yeah I mean forecast re for today 17° C humidity 88% I mean it’s been so dry and Dusty all week long here in monan which is not something we get to actually put in the same sentence
Very often but a little bit of rain might actually help it I think so too I think the most the the critical would be maybe if it’s windy to have all those leaves on the track and you’re not going to be able to see the line maybe I heard
They have some blowers at the top just to take the leaves but if the leaves are wet they’re not going to get out of the line you need to rock it I know unbelievably the uh the track side photographers have actually been uh really happy and enthusiastic this week
Which is which is for them but given the amount of just beautiful colors and shots but here is Phoebe Gil for Canyon Collective fmd as we get the U World Cup finals underway in Mon and Gale youngster from the UK our first Elite level season she’s been great this year
She’s been on podiums this year can she get on one at the very last time of asking you can just see the top here Cedric it looks wet up there yeah it’s wet and those rocks like you know like it looks like a little bit of BR and she
Definitely have the right kit today like all white when you enter the this wood section I think it should be okay because it’s still really hard Park you have a good speed but those rocks when they start to be shiny like this hello be careful yeah it’s that really the the
Bottom two Rock sections as well they can get so so slick and we’ve seen some big crashes in there over the years yeah and you can see the ties you know they have a little met on that but not too much I think should be okay just like
The open part at the top be careful ice speed and uh I think that’s where it can see some critical moments for the Riders yep Phoebe of course uh Pro of Tanny SE who we’ll see coming up later on she’s had a really really good year and still dry
There sorry to interrupt you but uh you see the difference still still dry there and we we do see this in downhill sometimes whenever there’s a very very dry course and you get a sprinkling of rain the problem can actually be the pickup a lot that dusts can stick the
Tire stick to the bike and it doesn’t clear like a full wet condition wood yeah you can see those tires are can pretty full at the minute and you can see the the bottom part of the legs as well you know the the dirt the dirt uh
Going into the pants like from the front wheel like she looking good taking out the lines she want like it’s probably like you say so hard to judge the grip from one part to the other to a shiny Place into a totally kind of Val dust Fifth and Le gang in Austria
Start of the Year second round for Phoebe Gil she’s had a really really good time of it fourth in luden V Peru there it’s still raining as you see yeah furer down the track and that is the thing mon an big big Track by modern standards as well and we can get this
Localized chars in different parts of it I like the way she’s doing like she get out of the woods try to jump instead of like really hard pedals she tried to use the terrain the suspension to get comfortable comfortable you do that as well sometimes just like to get
Enthusiastic you know like let’s go let’s go you pump on the bik here we go then the stev Smith Memorial Dro through their safety we saw so many rims and wheels being broken in there that’s a section I’m a little bit more concerned you know ice
Speed the rain is staying on those rocks you know in the woods it is trees it’s like an umbrella should be all right but this it’s a lot harder there really really difficult track to set up by up for as well because these big open
Sections you got to set things up for it to be able to deal with really really high speed impacts and those sudden highs speeded compression hits but then whenever you head into these Rock sections you wanted to soak up the slower stuff as well and you can see
Just they’re begin to look marbly looking that’s that’s what I was talking about the two last wood section they always been critical she’s taking the inside line it’s a a little bit off camper but I think that line it’s really good but you see like you need to carry
A lot of speed though if not that kber we make you slide your back will it’s looking glassy in there to me gilo as the first down will have this R keeps going the best of the conditions full commitment though like she’s still clipped in like you see like theer who
Used to be super easy there in the grass start to be a little bit more crazy look at it through here that top it looks drier to me than a bit further down as we are joined in the booth by a UCI world world champion from this track in
2019 Miriam Nicole is it wet out there you look a bit sort of soggy yeah it it didn’t last for too long but it’s super wet already so that’s going to be interesting I like the tone and the voice it’s going to be interesting it’s not often that people are happy to be
Indoors of you and I Cedric but I think that could have been what that voice sounded like Mar and this place in the way about as intimidating as downhill race tracks get isn’t it let’s get Phoebe Gil done the line then Gale cross the line with a benchmark time of a
5053 64 quality time yesterday was a 4 35.3 fastest from Valentina H as we see har Harden Le the star hut then for track Factory racing from the UK Miriam what’s going through your head as a racer if it never starts raining here yeah I mean like mon kind of work in the
Rain 9.7 inter that this TR is going to be tough in the wet so we know like har is super I mean in the W and the 51.8 km hour it looks fast to me yeah har Harden uro racer by trade cycl Lacross racer cross country racer I think 171 18 national
Championships in total in the UK for her heading find Awards the line and heading for the fastest time in the semifinal and harri Harden crosses the line with a 453 926 11.4 seconds faster than Gil just a reminder then we’ll take 10 plus Riders protected through to the
Finals Chara Hearn for the YT mob oh hard it is Miram to just start you’ve been practicing all week long in the dry and boom rain on I I hope they get preper yesterday like Imagining the truck and some new lines in the in the
Wet but this is sui so I hope the girls are using this race for to test a bit the truck the condition and there is no point in this save some energy for for Final 14 1/2 seconds down for a would seem like maybe she’s been off the bike
Somewhere look the kit looked reasonably clean but we’ll have a closer look in a second so things not going the Australians way 15.1 at the four split but is there anything Cedric as a racer I mean we’ve been talking about the Weller arriving all week it’s been the
Talk of the pits is there anything as a racer you can do to sort of prepare for that or does I mean the task the same isn’t it get the bike Le bottom as fast as you well you know there not many option you have you have to change the tire you
Have to go anywhere and higher spirit and better prepared you are to go and be training in the winter in those condition is going to make a better Rider today 16 and 1 half seconds time then for a Hearn as we head look how
Heavy it is at the top KN for Lisa bman one of the standout Riders off this season Young Riders bman has got a job on here in the r for me this is the hardest part at the top you know when those rugs rugs everywhere a little bit
Of there and it’s just like the B going sideways you know it’s so hard she’s 10 seconds back on split number three yeah Fifth and luden P regu very challenging conditions there as well bman though Miriam really a star of the future isn’t she oh yeah I mean like she has right so
Much and she did a huge season so I’m I’m really pleased for her and you can see she have a really good position and she’s super talented she a background of cross country right yeah yeah exactly cross countries and a bit of Enduro and now she’s just it in down and for first
Like that’s really good full package let’s go down the Lan and Lisa bman runs off a superb 2023 15.4 seconds back is it hard you guys psychologically I mean reing on a goggle L and you see how wet it is at the top for Jenna Hastings now for pivot Factory
Racing psychologically really difficult to hold it together yeah I mean like you have to be strong and prepared I think like we all knew that and she she was really good well I think the extension of the buer maybe with a clear lens from a Gago will be key today when he ran
Like this Roll Up is going to be so important today so you better not forget your roll off and and yeah but those rcks you hit them quite straight so if I remember good and remember Aon green winning in the rain that’s that’s kind of a good track but this year they made
A change there is a new section and the dirt was really low me but that might have beit a bit muddy 16 and 1 12 seconds back for Hastings and yeah we should also mentioned the late great Stevie Smith’s wet well run here 2013 absolutely just one of the greatest race
Runs of all time from one of the greatest ever Riders to do it long Chaw we all miss him glorious gar he leaves a start Hut now for Canyon the more relaxed you are the better it is like if you get two t on such a long
Track it’s it’s even harder so you can see all the and girls mashing it yeah and welcome of course to the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Mons and Quebec the finals and it is a wet r as glorious scars he goes down hard the canyon Collective Rider ran playing Havoc here
On the semifinals for the elite women look she lost the front there look there over the Rock and boom that your line has to be so straight it’s a big of cber in a wood section Michaela Parton for resolute racing great qualifying performance from her Ninth Place yesterday the Fort William
Native will be used to a droper in but this is a very very different place different place but she’s used to the this weather forecast I mean like you know I guess she wake up often with some rain at home so yeah I’ve been to Fort William it’s that means the midges will
Be better but I mean they’ll still be there as we look up through the woods and you can see just how glassy it’s looking up there everything is happening on split number three then he means like the super after the super high speed um I speed and the two like rock section
The Rock section is going to be key today 19 and 1 half seconds back split four for Parton then so har Harden down early sits in the hot seat oh sorry there is no hot seat of course for the semi she’s the fastest time so far haty
Hen and you know when you see them riding that they look like still fast still comfortable but this section at the top so awkward to just get out of the gate get your speed and you know your bike is going sideways right away and you go you know you’re going to be
Under the rain of until there until there maybe a little bit better under the trees but all the top look at all the leaves on the ground this is going to be a factor today this is going to be so s US national champion Anna Newark on track now had a good year
Newark and for the tire I wonder which Tire they would take oh second Crush here like you have to hit those Rock fast enough to don’t slide and quite straight I would have take the outside on this line because inside was working good yesterday but in the rain it is a
Bit tricky so maybe some chance they will do for final 12.2 Miriam do you have to have those lines in your head through practice and through quality that if it does rain here there’s another option as Gra from Factory leaves a St yeah and yesterday A lot of
People walk the track again and in the dry but just like imaginating some some rainy line that they would have to change the raining scenario youan and for the for the tires is super tricky because like the M tires on those rocks are not working good ham Street looking
Really really good here 9.6 seconds back though she looks Smo that outside line you was talking about I saw at practice I was thinking the inside was good but like you said in the drive but today all new line it’s raining it’s weal about it on track wall
That that power side is going to be Cy today cuz you can still go quite fast like N9 seconds back on split number three yeah the 18-year-old for Norco Factory racing having a big big year to herself Gracie hem Street’s impressed everyone this season top 10’s consistently throughout the year you can
See she’s relaxed and she lets the bik move that’s key today isn’t it it’s just being able to just relax and let it squirm around underneath you and be confident with that lack of confidence but 50.9 km an hour through the speed trap Gracie hem Street heads towards the
Bottom of this Elite women’s semifinals from Monson and Quebec I love the way she leaning at BM like full committed but look at the rain now it’s raining sideways a little bit where you the same where you leave right much last jump like yeah really hard to jump and when
You see rer at that level and that class not jumping means like it’s really slippery before yeah maybe she done do really well and she and this track is so exha just looking down at the bik slightly 16.9 seconds back yeah maybe something just mud guard filling up full
Of mud there Veronica vidman now leaves the start Hut for Continental n proof Factory racing well you know how fast it is on this section outside line there it’s two line one and inside R outside that big drop and it’s quite pretty high when you land there and you carry the
Speed the land is really important because you land too hard you don’t carry enough speed in this section so that’s really important to to be really light in this Landing it did determinate all your speed definitely fedman seventh in qualifying yesterday the Italian national champion 5 Seconds back though
She was fast at the first split so 61 so Harden’s left some time up there but and after she Carri basically the same marging well I mean back but she was still around like the top was really good for her it’s in the second wood
That she L sometimes and it it must be super Murdy now is it difficult as well we mentioned earlier on before you came in Mariam the the pickup on the tires as well they fill with the sort of the dry dirt once they’re wet and then it’s hard
To get them to clear again yeah but this year is going to be challenging because the new section can be super muddy so we normally don’t put mud tires in monan even if it rains but this year might change because of the new section second
Place then for vidman so far as we go back to the top and Monica harnik leaves the star H like you say Miram uh I think the second wood section is going to be a big factor today you need to serve your energy ride your bike all the way there good and try to be brilliant and there is many roots in the second one oh the leaves are just afraid about
Those leaves on those rocks I mean you know the rocks are already like slippery but we we leaves off it oh oh W 10.2 back then for Monica harnik she was second in leer earlier on the air a huge ride for her there another big big damn
Downhill but and you see that sorry R but you see that corner in the grass usually you keep the inside but you can see that they go straight and make the corner in the grass they’re just way too hit the grass to make the corner it oh
It’s looking treacherous up there at the minute we have seen some wet races over the years it’s still raining at our commentary booth at the bottom so it might be setting in for the day finals may be a really really different looking animal but harnik heading down towards
The line for dval am coming sou so we will take 10 the fastest 10 Riders plus any of the protected Riders outside of that into the final rasic not protected but heading down towards the line now fourth place 11.1 seconds behind that time of haty Harden you can see it’s
More muddy than the pr previous year it’s muddy you can see on the close M onet leaves the star hut then the Norwegian for Canyon Collective Factory team we see different lines at the top some people keep the inside some people outside some people stay in the middle I
Mean they try to go where theyby go I guess Sixth and Snowshoe fourth and Le really finishing the season strongly for young look at the mud playing for the back wheel she’s getting a good group there like comfortable there’s still little puffs of dry dirt though isn’t there yeah that’s probably hard because
From the wet to the dust is going to fill up the tire you have I mean she was in the green on the split number one lost a lot of time on split I mean on the third split it’s basically the second wood section like mam was talking
About there’s going to be a the big factor today the second we is super challenging with all those roots and it’s super slippery and it’s kind of flat there is some really Steep and flat section of super physical so you better have done some push-up this week like
Almost yeah almost like anuro run because you have to carry the speed but like said we seen go fastest and she’s an uro Rider by trade so y has find a second and a half but taking all the risks in the semi-finals to make it through the finals melee yonet heads
Down towards the line now 8.3 seconds back on that fastest time of Hardon then vidman y on set Hastings but it is getting wet and wet as ttin SE leaves the start H them free to go after her what a perfect uh kit set so
Good oh I love the way Tanish is riding as well effortless yeah start start look how dusty it is there and you see all the way to to the pads the knee you know all the the when you’re changing direction with a front wheel and you have all
Those dirt going into your legs and so definitely M would wouldn’t be a good option for this track at the moment yeah intermedia maybe like I would say on dry cuz you can see like on the Rocks D is better in the dust she’s 2/10 of a
Second faster at the top T sep so what’s the second split going to tell us we have seen a lot of intermediate Spike tires 5.4 backs which she’s last time between one and two that’s that’s wood number two again grabbing all those Riders but you know again there is no
Point so it’s just a point to make it to final but there is no point to push during this one yeah it’s all about finals points here today in Mon and so you bu you just basically want to get yourself in the Big Show get into that
Top 10 exactly and for the protected Rider definitely a run to learn the track on those condition you have one run basically to be like all right mechanics we change that that and let’s go for final run crave just pushing down the pedals at exactly the right point
There making that Canyon grip and turn for her looking good in the section I just like the way like she control the bike then you have to keep enough speed and H just R pretty straight so she’s lost another 1.4 seconds but she’s looking good here C actually well she’ll be from
Oh the back end just sneaking out from underneath her trying to that’s a line today Miriam right straight down don’t don’t corner on those rocks and wait for that bottom corner just to Corner yeah exactly it’s a challenge is RO maram would you have liked a day like
This would you I mean obviously you’re a racer you want a race but this is a very difficult day to be out there yeah I mean like they are so brave but I have to say like I I still miss this this condition like I’m sure I would have
Done well I think that reflects badly on me and you Cedric to be honest SP no I mean like physical this is a part I’m not missing at all because you don’t realize how exhausted they are coming into this section into the Rock one so almost 10 second back on split number
Four 51.6 km an hour on the speed trap oh there goes for safety over there gets it done SE grave heading time towards the line now looking to pick a place in the finals free to go after her kept to the inside here in the Rocks great to
See her getting back to her very best towards the end of this season SE 10.8 back slots are in in fifth so that should be safe then for SE she’ll me at the Final Nina Hoffman then in a battle for second place in the overall this is a big run for Hoffman she is protected but she’ll want a sight she want to get fi for the track that’s quick she looked quick and we know she would be quick up there she she’s
Physical I mean she’s not going to lay down the four run but being physical is going to be really key today because the strike is even harder Mariam what what’s you know what sort of percentage are these top three going to be digging they know they’re through to the finals they know they
Don’t have to risk everything but at the same time they want to get a feel for what this track’s doing here in monsan yeah I would say like something like 1 you know it’s one sorry to interrupt you 1 point six faster at the top but she
Six back at the second she’s really good second wood she hit it well so you just have to be flowy and find this this limits but don’t push them here comes Hoffman down towards the Stevie Smith drop then the second like pretty good in his wood section oh TIR is full of mud
Onto that big wet Rock section yeah but that corner after the St SMI drop is definitely better than it was yesterday we saw a lot of problems on Juniors really nicely through there Hoffman oh when it’s fast and you have to hold on underbar she’s good like she’s physical
Strong on she’s really really good at getting the wheels in the straight line isn’t she and just opening up the brakes and letting the bike go so for me there is like a second race to start after this corner you you start hitting those rocks and it’s like okay part two yeah
What do you do a big deep breath try to reset and let’s go and look really far to go slide on this ro oh inside makes it more there total commitment from the German Rider full on that was impressive yeah she stay testing the line you know
She know it’s kind of working and she can keep this one for final which is a good good point to know and she went full on committed she’s brought it back let’s see what the next split say she was just a 10 off that fastest time of Harriet
Harden so Nana Hoffman putting one together here in the semi-final she is protected she will go through but she wants that second place in the overall she’s 21 faster well that’s why we saw that second I mean the two last wood section when we saw like keeping in
Inside side she was like she looked like it was a yeah you have to aggress the rugs and and then slay on them and she just went for it so Hoffman this is coming together nicely and this as she can get it to the line safely will fill
Her full of confidence ahead of the finals Nina Hoffman down the line what’s the time going to be is it going to go fastest Nina Hoffman crosses the line and goes fastest by 1.1 from Hy Harden in the semi-finals of the elite women here at the UCI downhill World Cup final
In Mons and terrific run but what can cabaro do what a run for Nina like impressive full uncommitted oh sliding here for marine a little bit oh but she’s charging yep the French Riders she’s won the last two rounds on the points pedling hard after all those
Burms yeah but Nina was good there she was crackling a lot of speed well I can tell you ree Wilson has been on and he said you need to stress just how difficult it is with a clogged TI the tires fill up with dirt as we can
See here in the dry sections he said it’s like riding on glass Wheels it’s almost impossible she’s one point foot back for marine on the split number one 1.4 back for cabaro work to be done here after that seriously impressive Ron from Nina Hoffman still looks pretty good
Through that wood section though Miriam yeah she got I mean like she got a bit stuck at the outside and she’s not pushing a lot between the section yeah maybe she had a problem seeing and it’s really hard to remove your hand from the under bar so
Yeah9 back for kabo then oh she suffer on on the last wood SE the second wood section there really really choppy difficult conditions here in Monson and just as we would expect it from one of the most feared race tracks in international Downhill Racing Marine cabaro is on track in the semi-finals
For the elite women she’s 7.9 back on the fastest time set by the woman she needs to beat today if she wants to take second in the overall standings this season what did that do on that second wood section she definitely did maybe she just didn’t see well and you know like
She want to push in finals there is no point taking so much risk you just have have to make it to final yeah no points available so if she didn’t see properly we could see she was struggling removing and is like 10.5 back at the third night
But let’s see her through this rock section looking good definitely a good spot to take a t off again great that was good that was really good these top Riders making the dry lines work in the way oh you have to go full speed you want to get out those
Rocks as quick as possible get away from them it means like I’m not breaking you can see this run is really a test for the Riders they’ve been practicing in the dve the whole week and they are not used to it so it’s like a first run of
The week it’s a lot of information to process as well over one run yeah like Miriam say it’s like day one on the track really yeah well we couldn’t have asked for a more let’s say complicated set of conditions here at the finals it started raining right at the start of the
Semifinal session it’s been predicted big rain here all weekend I think the worst of it is to come tonight so we’ll see if the rain sort of stabilizes and starts to behave itself maybe for the finals but Mar in cabaro on track at the minute the woman she needs to beat Nina
Hoffman is currently fast in the semis cabaro crosses the line and goes six 10.7 back on Hoffman yeah that’s a lot that’s a tough one but usually when she do a a bad semifinal she’s doing good in the final we’ll see if today it’s the
Case here we go then the woman who has already secured an unable lead in the title rest Valentina Hall The Rock shocks track resting leaves the star it looks heavier at the top oh oh you see the front there she washed a little bit like but no full on
Commitment no problem for Valentina no problem Valentina Hall has been absolutely superb this season she looked fast there yes can she car speed yeah she car speed good and I love the way she jump on the bike try to feel the grip so relaxed see how relaxed
Body less yeah let’s have a look at the time she’s not7 faster than hman at the first split for Valentina H you see the way she used flat section like a little bit earlier than Marine I mean I mean like this wood is going to be really tricky yeah it is a
Little river it was a little river already in practice in the Dred and now it’s full on wet that concrete corner is good a moment I mean like but you just need to let the bike run and have the confidence in your own bike skills to be
Able to pick it up and yeah the dirt is so perfect perfect that in that section she’s she’s in the second wood now and there is like it’s kind of flat some rocks Roots this one is going to be tricky that’s the one we told earlier
Like it it’s more like Enduro feeling to try to carry the speed you can see the tires clogging up with all this dry dir already wet it’s not wet enough to clear them and it’s a really really difficult set circumstances but Valentina Hall the UCI world champion making the best of it
Goes High there that section is hard there that’s hard section she’s so relaxed so she can let the bike dance how how it wants it’s so good to watch because this is definitely our first run in in this condition it didn’t rain for practice this morning so it’s impressive
Ride for a first R in this Condition it’s impressive impressive the capability of Valentina to adapt right away she Clicks in right away look at that it look like she had three practicing yeah and that is one of the key the key skills of Downhill Racing
Isn’t it to be able to adapt to conditions as in when she’s 2.4 faster at the second split Valley hole and you translate right away into a fast time there is no point and she’s still like going for it but super smooth super smooth and it’s so good to watch we see
Oh just trying to break on that ramp not much grip up there plays a straight Furrow across that rock section Valentina Hall looking good here she already has the UCI World Cup overall title in the bag she’s got the UCI World Championship stripes on her sleeves but
She wants to go out with a bang here in monsan 53.7 km an hour through the speed trap she looks so good in control the bike is working great look at the work of the suspension on the front just taking all the Beats coming into the ropes let’s see
Her through the rock section now Valentina H 1.9 seconds she’s lost a little bit of time but she’s still nearly two seconds faster both axles dancing around underneath her trying to go in different directions but H holds it steady really nicely done different NES at Nina and Marine but really nicely
Done full un committed and speeded your friend is your friend in those wood section just as we’ve seen her all season long she moves so well with the bike doesn’t she like she’s like great riding one piece yeah Ryder and bike in unison so it’s Hoffman Harden and vidman
Who are currently fastest in the semi-finals 10 will go through plus any protected outside of that but Valentina Hall is putting a serious serious marker down here 1.5 seconds faster so she did the damage up top and she’s managing the losses lower down yeah and have enough
Energy as well to play some hard pedling after the last wood section Valentina Hall she has been an absolute Class Act this season her last win was in luden V Peru she’s heading down towards a fastest time in the semi-finals here in monan Valentina H the Austrian the UCI world champion
Crosses the line and goes fastest by 2.8 seconds from Nina Hoffman with a 449 or fastest time to dry yesterday at 4 35.3 so I mean different RAC track today but sometimes you know mon can be scary how fast it is so look at the replay look at
The back of the work attitude she’s boom boom all right let’s go faster I want more oh super early here to make sure she’s straight before that breaking area watch her through these rocks as well just pushes through them look the vision she’s already looking at the next
Compression that’s what you want there yeah we saw that with valentinaa Sanchez yesterday in the junior women’s didn’t we the I just right at the top of the goggles looking down at the hallway but look how confident Valentina Hall was through that rock section the fork like
Look at that start sliding but because she I didn’t enough speed speed is your friend there there’s the results in Valentina Hall goes fastest in the elite women’s semi-final by 2.8 seconds from hatti hor from sorry Nina hoffen excuse me then Harden vidman John set Hastings
Cabaro who needs a big big time in the finals ahead of hman further down the rankings in seventh then there’s new Kirk bman aarn ham Street Parton disappointed with that and scy Valley great run totally different conditions today how did you have to mix up the strategy yeah I mean it’s a tough
One like first of all it doesn’t really matter what I do today and then you don’t get points like yeah you just try to adapt it’s hard to do a full run on totally new conditions and it was a bit sketch to be honest for these riders
Today in the final what parts are going to pose the most challenges well I feel like it’s top to bottom it’s such a physical gly track here you can’t really chill anywhere um all sections are key sections like you need to have that average speed that wins races and yeah
Just trying to hold it together well good luck today thank you she doesn’t seem that bothered about that at all well all the way she say from top to the bottom but key section have to be done right look at the face yeah look at the
Eyes different lens you see kind of uh Pink y Clear Vision Clear Vision towards the finals for Valentina hole she was already protected she didn’t need to go that fast but Miriam she did I have a question Miriam yeah how many if you was racing today how many tff you we put on
I would have kind of roll off some of them some of them was using tough but roll roll off are the best oh no because rolloff you know sometime you can get some rain going into the film then and the te off is is a different maybe they were not ready
Because like coming in at the top like it didn’t see it was going to rain that quick we really hoped there were not going to be rain today well here we are getting ready for the elite men’s semifinals in Mons and Quebec Gabriel neron a Canadian will get us under away
Very very shortly win Masters Breen Kurt MC Matt Walker Leno Layman Sam blank and sub Cruz bragan Meek Meer Smith Hogan V what a season he’s having chaet in dly Vidal Maples Fen Richie rude in there still enjoying his downhill seure Luke Meer Smith Phil Atwell Mark
Wallace Baptist Pon Jacob J oi Davis Vieira Ronin D second last time out lorri Greenland Menard Walker Danny Hart Norton aarn Tyrion Shaw Goldstone verier cck K broen and bruny are fastest qualifiers from yesterday well hello and welcome to the UCI downhill World Cup finals from monan it’s raining as Gabrielle neron the
Canadian leaves the start Hut to get us underway Cedric it’s a different game all of a sudden in the W let’s play isn’t it exactly it’s a different game but at least those guys already have some infos from the womans they can tell all this is good for you know uh go on
Dry tires or uh maybe more click on the compression it’s a lot slower speed bigger impact or I don’t know um te off roll off you know all those and important all the little tips and tricks employed to guarantee Clear Vision and do your best with grip you can see the
Leaves that have fallen here all wait long just making things even more difficult again exactly I think you’re totally right that wood section at the top there is going to be maybe some problem with grip grips be grip because uh first of all the rain the dirt all
Those rocks and now the leaves I mean really hard to see where you’re going when it’s full on with leaves everywhere yeah and you ask any downhill racer and they would either want a fully dry race or a fully wet race the the track here mon is big enough that get localized shs
There’s a lot of tree cover so that means that you get drier sections like this for example bang on Q and all that does is fill those wet tires full of dry dir and it becomes so so glassy and so hard to commit yeah so hard like you’re
Getting out from super wet going into two corners of Dy and fitting up the tire and you have to try to clean this tire to get the ribs from the knobs you know so hard those this is so tag there and this section coming in so hard you
Have to stay really high there two lines all around doubling out he went it’s like three lines really there but your exit speed is really important because really hard to carry that speed and it’s quite flat like Enduro racing this wood section is going to be key today nicely
Done there you need to be really active and there it’s coming two different line and the exit speed is really important to Across the key slope there a good spot to use maybe a tear off or roll off to clean your vision yeah we just talked about it during the elite women’s
Semifinal with Miriam Nicole tear offs rolloffs the different systems of clear and goggle Vision could be key this after noon as neon heads down towards the Stevie Smith Memorial drop them yeah that corner is doing to feel good today the F the Stevie bottom of the stev
Smith drop cuz that corner was really really dry yesterday and destroyed now like it’s a little bit more grip but this section is going to be so fast though see the bike up near on getting up the speed shedding some of that dirt the full commitment to that inside there
Great to see oh it’s insane the turbulance you can see you know and his handb there almost lost the gri because it’s only really one line in that burm but how hard it is to enter that wood section it’s like the second race started there on Clips save that crisis
Management in effect for the Canadian Rider there manages to pull it off look tips it into there superbly oh the crowd is going to be insane this afternoon there because that’s definitely a spot where to was the race we’ve seen some big drama played out in those rocks over
The years here’s another set if you survive them what what do you mean practice already 22 flat tire in the same Rock absolutely unbelievable this place it has stood the test of time as just being a bike eater near on out in the open again and
You can see how greasy and Slick it looks out underneath the trees I guess you know if your products survive mon Santan you can you can go on the market confident yeah 100% this place it just eats bikes alive near on them over the first drop looking good though like yeah
Good run over the second drop on his way to give us our Benchmark time in the elite men semi-finals and a 422 231 so fastest time in qual yesterday the only time under 4 minutes a 3 57.7 from L bruny Jack reading what a couple of weeks this guy’s having in his
Last UCI World Cup made the cut yesterday in the semifinals the UK Rider he’s been around this sport for a long long time yeah and U he’s a he’s a rider oh nicely done that double before the corner taking some changes he had still have some stitches on the left or right
Leg Yeah and he said that thing that all Racers say that it’s fine when I’m riding whenever I’m sleeping standing walking any of the other inconveniences of life it’s soore but 4 seconds back on split number four he was fastest by a second at the top
So that’s what we see him doing the dble in the first wood section yeah the Y made a tough stuff full committed as he heads down towards the line then Jack reading crosses the line with a 4 27.45 seconds back well jack happy with that one as well he should
Be Thomas oier then for pink bike racing leaves the start H as Cedric and I are joined in the booth by a man who knows what it takes the win here cuz he’s done it three times Aaron Gwen Aaron you joked yesterday you can’t remember a dry
Race run here but it always seems to find a way here to rain on race day right usually right about the time getting ready to drop in for your race run so uh yeah we’re right on schedule here well it looked like you find the
Solution out to win the race here in the weight condition how how you manag to just go go on the condition like that long track rocks everywhere different kind of type of dirt how do how do you manage that when you did them practice
Yeah I think it you just got to be able to kind of figure it out as you go you got to be okay with things not going perfect you know you got this game plan oh yeah goes second through the the whole week and then um yeah I mean when
It gets to race run it’s the same for everybody right so you just got to find a way to win here is a man trying to find a way to win Greg Williams and Madison s Factory team is it going to be on the favor of the English riders today
Oh yeah look 1.7 on the split number three for Greg Williamson 58k an hour yeah from the micro climb it up and in vaness half a second faster at the first split 1.7 two seconds back for G pulls a tear off there on the straon we talked
About it with mam Vision so so important today yeah for sure I think um I mean when it when it rains here this track is pretty good right now it actually looks tricky because it it rained a little bit and then stopped so you kind of got that
Little bit of Grease layer on top but Vision here is definitely always difficult because the track is so fast there’s always stuff kind of flying in your face and you got to find a place to pull a tear off uh which is usually scary here cuz you’re always going fast
And it’s always rough so williamon goes 2.6 seconds behind that first Rider down Harry Malloy now for Continental nuk proof Factory racing this guy shouldn’t be underestimated the job he’s done this season with those Riders Chris cing ruin D yeah big big teammates you know always important you know to be right together
You know motivate each other that’s right Malloy 3.4 back so he found time at the top 1.1 and not a little bit 1 one at that lavel it’s fast definitely throw some big moves at the top on those open Corners there I mean like switch back and Ice speed yeah and
That’s a good kind of sign for I mean I would guess the top of the track here is probably going to be some of the slipperiest stuff right now because it’s all in the open there’s no trees up there um so that’s usually where the
Water kind of sets in first the stuff in the trees will stay dry kind of the longest because of the canopy um it’s also a little softer so it takes more time to get through there mooy down the line and third 3.3 seconds behind n what
Do you think as well about all those leaves now on the ground yeah yeah if the dirt wasn’t slick enough get some water on those leaves and that’s going to be scary Brook McDonald the Bulldog on track the Bulldog on track so nice to see him had a huge back
Injury not so long ago when his right back RAC the Kiwi 1.4 speed number three was quick at the top not at the top as well so he’s bringing it back Brook here just checks down on the bike there he’s unbelievable 56.2 km an hour no problem for the
Bulldog so cool to see him back on track here in MSA and charging one of those Riders going to be probably uh hopefully can get her into finals here he holds the unofficial speed record done here does as well about 80 km hour he holds that everywhere brck McDonald cross the line
Second place then good run from McDonald there’s a little bit more speed after the you know the last split time 1.6 it was yeah you can see the tear off just the left hand side of his helmet there for the goggles so we are going to take 30 Riders plus any protected through
There through to the finals I think uh info are going to be important Riders to Riders to do the grip yeah for sure I was uh just down there watching the women Simi at the finish line and kind of radioing up to the guys and just letting them know kind
Of what the course conditions look like I think everybody always scrambles to try to figure out Tire conditions and your entire choices you know when it’s like this looks like Irv had a little bit of an issue up there somewhere seconds back he clears the spot where
There was so much Carnage in the junior men’s race yesterday safely Aon pull there for he land deep on the front wheel wow and after that just lost the rear the the rear was just swinging nearly landed down at the ptin van in the Finish area yeah maybe flat yeah it
Looked like I don’t know I don’t know if it was the grass or or flat rear tire but it was his back wheel was all over the place yeah have 57 km an hour through the sped trap though for Irvin yeah the big launch might have been the
Thing lost some air like the yeah you see the the air it’s like um it’s on the Sy now on the moose or whatever it is not the Moose because I don’t have it in biking the same thing you should have the Moose now there are a few moose
Knocking around here but it’s a different type of moose La moose yeah bummer to see this from Tyler it’s uh this is a really cool story with this kid I get to ride with him quite a bit at home spends a lot of time in Tennessee in the offseason and I
Was chatting with his mom the other day and just one of those those guys that’s like truly doing the private tier thing getting himself to the races every year just figuring out a way to get there and just constantly making these small improvements and now he’s a guy that can
Challenge to get into World Cup finals like it’s I can’t under you know explain how difficult it is to do that in that position so to kind of just have the drive to keep pushing forward kind of when you you just got to do everything on yourself you got minimal help and uh
So yeah bummer to see this here but really cool season for him good to see the progress I tell you if you can ride down this track with a flat tire and look as good as that Tyler Irving crosses the line in seventh place absolutely no shame on that whatsoever
Exactly and he Jam that last double so easy well another Scottish Rider and I who’ be well used to conditions Jimmy Edmonson for the Chile racing Brigade told me earlier on the week it’s just one of those places that you’ve just got to be comfort with your bike not feeling
Great just not feeling right because there’s no right way to set it up here 1.1 seconds faster at the first split 5 Seconds back now four everything is happening again like mam was saying on the second wood section like the new wood section is going to be really
Tricky it’s wor it’s hard to keep the speed then uh today really hard to qualify to the final today I mean well we talked about flat tires a second ago report in in from the bottom Josh Carson just passed on the information that Valentina Hall actually crossed that semi-final line with a flat
Tire so then on the last two wood section I guess that’s where I can see it happen Jacob Dixon then for Ms mandrier your man from County down he’ll be well Ed these conditions I can tell you cuz I grew up on them oh he looking good he’s moving
What again there we the double it’s even hard in the drive 6.4 seconds faster at the four split for Dixon there we go the speed don’t lie yeah he’ll be well used to The Damp leaves the wet conditions so comfortable he was going so fast this is played into his ballpark today Jacob
Dixon D towards the line what a semi-finals run from Jacob Dixon 5.8 seconds faster than Gabrielle neron roll up using a roll [Applause] on when Masters and for GT Continental Factory racing been around this sport a long long time to Kiwi so hard to get that first straight away out a what line
Here like I mean it’s really nibbly from the start is it straight into it lots of little pedal catchers and things to catch you out seconds good to see wi back on track and kind of getting up to speed I was chatting with him the other day too and
I’m like man I mean he had such a big crash to start the year off in Switzerland and uh he’s like yeah it’s really hard just to get back to full speed now um you know you can be just a tick off and then this you know in this
Sport that just adds up to seconds at the bottom he said he’s just now starting to kind of find his flow again and I I could tell in practice he’s starting to look good again I bet he’d like to have a couple more races here to
Kind of really get into the groove but just good to see him back and charging oh he’s definitely charging he got some time back a little bit at the end of it when Masters goes second fastest behind Dixon well at that time with Dixon wasn’t impressive enough I’ve just heard
From the bottom cross the line with a flat FR Tire yeah yeah yeah it was I think the two last wood section is where you definitely get a gra Joe Breeden for intense you see that double there we spotted that one first day of uh track walk when I was out there watching
Practice they sent the video up I’m like hey there’s a little triple here if you want it ah man looks like he must have had an issue back for breeding yeah on intense Factory race and of course Aaron’s team Joe it’s just been the speeds there Aon isn’t it it’s just been
A frustrating season for him yeah one of the most like naturally Ed bike riders I’ve ever seen like he does certain lines and things I mean like you could just see out of the out of the start gate where he triples that right in the mud no big deal uh just has really
Struggled to kind of put it together I know he he has a hard time with his arms right now he had a big injury last year uh kind of blew his elbow out and it’s been a lot of rehab to try to get back to strength especially with that upper
Body and these long physical tracks I know he struggles towards the bottom to hold on so I think for him it’s just time get get the body strong again and just kind of keep moving forward so he’s made some had some really good moments this year so hopefully have a good off
Season and just kind of get back on track next year joen cross the line and 10 then 14.7 back for the man from the southwest of England Kirk MCD the Canadian oh she didn’t know you could hear the noise of the back wheel like kind of strange noise out of the gate is
It true that this guy is one of the engineers at NCO like he actually works there and then he just decides to come out and race a World Cup for fun that’s that’s pretty awesome to be engineered to La you know what you’re talking abouto call you can back up the numbers
There I just heard that yesterday I was like no way just come out here race a World Cup on your own bike exactly he’s got a safe job behind the computer he doesn’t need to be out there doing this yeah but how cool it is to be able to
Talk to the engineer when you ride at that level and he will click in when you say something too in term of numbers and yeah 100% I mean that’s got to be a huge Advantage for those guys this is like a great run too yeah good run down the
Line fifth place so 8 seconds back Jacob Dixon has put down an absolute Stormer there of a 416 Here Comes Matt Walker how hard it is when you inor B in the team Matt Walker well there’s not many people doing more racing than him and any Masters for pivot Factory racing
He’s fighting to clip again but this guy can ride any bike at the full speed yeah he’s had good good results in Enduro downhill kind of does everything yeah won the fifth round of the Enduro World Cup earlier on this season after a long time of asking one of the most
Popular wins in that format in a long long time Matt’s been up there nearly won a couple of them but finally got the job done this year 58.7 km an hour through the speed trap got that inside line there’s kind of three options through that last Rock section they’re
All a little sketchy but told me told me last week he’s looking forward to the offseason fourth place for Walker he said I have I have a policy of no bikes till after Christmas there you go wow Leo Layman on that gam Factory racing big big bike the back end of it’s only
Just left the start H up there now that’s a bike was impressive you know like when you’re in the side of the track Mike Leon Hooter and the junior men’s actually we saw him yesterday and it’s sort of an old school approach and that the thing hugs the ground really
Cedric you’re sort of era of racing that’s how they like the bikes to set up wasn’t it remind me nil kind of Shame when he’s on the track 56 6 km an hour I’m still impressed how fast you know and there goes like the 11 second back on split number
Four so it has stopped raining for the time being you never like to say that out loud just in case it starts again but it has stopped raining for the time being Aaron if you’re up there at the top you kind of wanted to keep going do
You I guess yeah it it kind of needs to make its mind up like either really rain or just stop but kind of when it goes on and off and in the middle the track never gets a chance to like soften up so it just stays hard pack with that little
Grease layer on top it’s kind of the the sketchiest of all the conditions so kind of just feeling it out 12 play for Layman Sam blank up well expect to see a bit of style from this man in the loose conditions what do you think I run full
On M Tire or still on dry I think I would kind of be on probably some sort of Hybrid tire like either a dry Tire or kind of that in between I don’t think I’d go to a full mud tire yet I don’t think that the dirt is soft enough to
Really dig into that 4 seconds back at side inter J for blanky at the minute yeah good one Sam was a top 10 here last year if I’m not mistaken I think he got eigh here always rides this track good you are correct in that assertion he got
E here last year you win the pub quiz Sam blankin heading down to the line getting those pedal Strokes in wherever he can blank and then a top 10 Rider here in the pass goes second behind Jacob Dixon getting it done 4.1 seconds on that Crest line bike that should do
It yeah yeah I think so Lucas Cruz leaves a start H but Cedric I mean we just talked about s blank and so going well here experience on this track and in these mixed conditions pivotal today he’s good All Around by when you see him practice always have new lines he’s just
Impressive look at that on split number three for Lucas .9 seconds now what 57.2 km hour second f for Lucas Cruz the Canadian backs are in to the left hander right hander excuse me oh he’s moving really quick there maybe scrubs off there Cruz heading down
Towards the line what can he stop the clock at Cruz goes fast this with a 414 2.3 seconds faster than Dixon so he really extended in that bottom section Canadian national champion enjoyed that one as well he made George Brown again so everyone have a different line
At the start it’s so hard to pick up which one is the best that would section how do you do there like if you put the spike tires or a like I mean you’re get to slide for sure but in any tires today but wow this
Is going to be a key Point as well when you know like maybe the tire will be good at the top and there a little bit more sketch but yeah that is a bit of the problem here is there there is some soft stuff where maybe as it’s starts to
Soften up you uh you might put a mud Spike on and it might be good there but when you get to the bottom part of this track there’s just no more dirt left it’s all rock and as you know Cedric when you take a mud Spike onto wet rocks
It’s about the worst thing you could possibly ride well and as well if you want to have the oh it was an inside there but you know like it was two campound before those mud tires like the really hard one was horrible but good in the grass yeah run again heading down
Towards the line then the flank heway crosses the line into 15th position so as ever in the semi-finals we’re just waiting to see what that bubble time is going to look like Toby M for Ms Mander leaves the star H another K yeah we’re just waiting
To see what time develops is the time that we think is going to be the sort of cut Point into the drop zone for the top 30 rattles a pull and the way through there definitely the best line there you don’t want to jump too far into that Big
B on the you want to high like try to open up that corner and get some exit speed one thing we are definitely seeing here though is that once it starts moving away from you on S an it’s very very difficult to go faster yeah 100% uh
Looks like he might have a flat tire here something happening in that second split it seems like a lot of riders are kind of in touch at the top and then all of a sudden there’s a big gap back at the second split might be that fresh
Section A little Lo that’s a new because the split they just after second wood section is going to catch a lot of people you know like the super tight one with that flat in the middle Roots Everywhere there he is me at the finish line then next up Remy Meer Smith the young Australian one of those riders that you kind of think that it doesn’t matter what they can Miss are do and this guy will just throw it all the wall and see what sticks 3.3
Seconds yeah one of those guys who just waiting for that break out Rod he had a little bit of one at US Open a couple weeks ago finished right there in touch with with Manar and uh Jackson and Dakota all the big dogs just a matter of
Time I think till we see this kid on a Podium someday yep finish ahead of his brother Luke Meer Smith at that race third fastest Here2 giant Factory off-road team with that new Race Kit for the last race of the Year see on cha Cube Factory racing Cedric you talked to him yesterday you talked to him a lot in French so I didn’t really understand what you were saying what were you chatting about uh
Chatting about that lining inside of the big rock section you either go to the left and cut that cber big rock or you keep it inside like Greg was doing and I’m like it’s worth doing it insane you know like for plan be if rain and I hope
You did it because you need to try all the options went down hard on those rocks too that’s the section where we were just talking about we think some of these problems have been happening you can see that rock right as he leaned in that’s shiny and then uh there’s a rock
Kind of right in the BM too so there’s just nowhere for the the bike to hook up into the dirt oh I hope he didn’t hit that rock with his hip because rocks all over the place 19th Val is Sol but here’s Mato in it is those kind of guys you know like
Those Frenchies MZ estack on those condition there like and look that he’s in touch split number two in is in touch here not. 7 Seconds back at the second split as he heads down towards the Stevie Smith drop they offer me to go on a team camp with them just to get back
To speed a little bit I don’t know if I would take that that be tou I don’t know if that one’s going to help anyone to be honest any case wow look at that fast like he’s holding on love the way he plays his body you see the ankles just
Dropping the ankles to get better grip you know in his breaking Zone he has been a rider who’s grown in stature really all season long and very very difficult to do just as we see with the Swiss in Cross Country to stand out amongst the French downhill Riders so so
Difficult such as a depth of competition but Ines getting there the inside line I was talking about look at all the mud on those rocks as well getting pulled over I love that I don’t know if it’s a faster but for me it was the simple y
That L really good through there got those two gaps and it get then on a good run here can he can he Gap in that last wood section we all know about that big double was open couple years ago by Greg Min right there yeah it is yeah there’s
A there’s there’s Glory up there for anybody who wants to take the risk yeah 56 km hour through the speed trap so he’s lost time it’s looked good but he’s lost time yeah a lot of time 3.3 on the split number four whereever he lost it I
Couldn’t see it this has looked great from Mato Inay yeah hopefully he’s keeping air in the tires I think you get towards the bottom of this too really Fitness kind of starts to to come in the the upper body the hands everything gets so blown out here might be just trying
To get it home safe look like safe down the line of third place so 3.3 back it’s always hard to know if they have um you know like a flat tire because they’re sliding so much on the back Austin Austin dly from the USFA on track now come on
Boy one of my guys I ride with a lot back home another kid that just sort of slowly worked his way up well we’re here in the UCI downhill World Cup finals well he did good on the split the three it means like after that new wood section he was great there lost
A lot of time to spin number four it’s a semifinals for the elite men there a title on the line later on this afternoon but we got to take the 30 fastest Riders plus any protected Riders outside of that through to it so Austin dly from the USA on track now heads down
Towards the Finish Line cross the line goes fifth from dly Aon nods in approval you’ll be happy with that one yeah I think that’ll get the job done I think that bubble’s probably going to be just behind that somewhere if I were to get well antoan Vidal has been steadily
Working his way through Comal lazor’s reserves of spare Wheels this weekend okay that kid if he ride the way he know how to ride it can be dangerous on those conditions yeah definitely one of those guys oh there was the G no.6 seconds and touch at the third
Split but that pulls that big big gap 2.4 back though yeah 59k an hour oh that was a CER for finals wasn’t it wow he win for it well he’s Antoine Vidal that’s kind of his thing he’s Euro Champion got it clean too nice yeah the European Champion then we are seeing
Time found at the top of this track but it’s so difficult no second and third splits to hold on to it Vidal moves down toward WS the Finish area now he goes third Lucas Cruz currently fastest then it’s Jacob Dixon great runs from both of them Dylan Maples looked like he just
Struggle for traction slightly out of the gate there Cedric yes we we saw it with Aon like the first crank was not the best it’s probably wet a little bit yeah something you definitely have to pay attention slick up here this top stuff’s really hard that top section gets better
If it’s a lot oh yeah he’s in touch here1 second so his last Wild Card race off the off the for for mof com Sal by riding addiction a fairy tale story but he’ll want to go out impressing everyone just as he has done the last two or
Three Dylan mles I love the way he was pedaling really hard on that little flat section today you know you cannot Cruise there I love the fact that they’ve changed things up a bit and they’ve got a wild card Rider him but he’s a wild card Rider who’s exactly in the mold of
Their other Rider totally looks just like their other top guys Maples go second seconds crashes over the line well if you’re going to crash anywhere that’s a safe spot to crush yeah big smile as always great to see dles for forbidden synus team flat pedals may just be the ticket for these difficult
Conditions not clipped in like basically all of the other top Runners that guy as well with the skills he have I mean on flats for me he’s always flying he’s so technical too and he was in pouch too spin number three in touch yeah so impressive to see I don’t know how he
Keeps his feet on with flat pedals especially on those Rock section there Yeah here we are then the UCI World Cup finals semi-finals for the elite man Conor Fon on track I just saw puffer something for that rear wheel there oh get it across the Finish Line oh fair play at the bottom of the last wood section it just like it’s Tire po
Out definitely a rck there crazy ring to be able the from the East is on track the uro World Cup overall title winner for Yeti if someone can do it it’s him Richard if anyone if anyone can put a run the together here the inur a World
Cup overall title winner used to be out on those long days on the inur fight he’s not in seconds faster at the third split yeah got to keep airing those tires Richie had a good result again yesterday qualified with the flat tire just sitting up slightly there hopefully there’s no problems now but
Richie rude if he could get this into the finals to back up that performance in Snowshoe last weekend just one of the most versatile allr mountain bike racers of all time you really have to say it rude over that final double in heads down towards the line Richie Roode third
Place with a 45.8 1.7 back off Cruz but that should do it yeah great run see extension on the visor he had an extra lens for the rain to pen the New Zealander on course now yeah Vision so T tricky on this track he run that extended visor yeah this is looking good
Too a 10th of a second back at the third split four to pen he getting faster and faster yeah yeah extended big land after that after that big rocks and a lot of people are casing front wheel and back wheel look at this time spr number four in 58 km an
Hour the camera flatters that one slightly but it’s a big pull in isn’t it yeah that is a big one it’s completely blind you come in turning the lip is uh not smooth it’s got a big kicker on it you just got to kind of commit and go
For it oh so good he was at the inside with that big step up there yeah really hoping he can back this up in finals he’s got so much talent he deserves it second place three1 of a second back behind Lucas Cruz so it’s Cruz Penny Maples your top three in the Semi-final Jackson con for team High Country had an absolutely fantastic time of it in Snowshoe West Virginia the Australian 4 seconds back by our clocks in the booth here at the third split so hard to get those line you be practicing all week long in the dry and
Now it’s another game again first run in this kind of weight condition for those guys can you overthink it in the wet yeah I think you know you can try to plan you can try to set your bike up you can make changes you can think through
Like where’s the lines going to change what do I want to do uh but at the end of the day the track is just going to kind of throw whatever it has at you and you just kind of got to be able to adapt
On the go um I don’t know I always find comfort and just thinking like it’s same for everybody looks like he has a maybe maybe a flat or something cuz he was breaking a lot or something is happening there front flat maybe is it yeah yeah front flat yeah Jackson Conley
Disappointment then for the Australian it’s hard oh B no no that’s the front’s gone it’s both double I think front and rear well here is Luke Meers Smith GI Factory off-road team the Australian National Champion Meers Smith brothers having a great time of it in 2023
Oh big gap there for Luke Meers Smith oh they send it big and they look like they’re clearing it a lot better in practice 7.3 seconds back though at four so something hasn’t gone his way up there I love the position elbows out try to find the grip there in the inside
That’s your line Aon yeah yeah expecting big things out of Luke he started the season so strong I know he had that dislocated shoulder I think in lenville probably still recovering from that but my Smith Goes 1 there for giant Factory Offroad yeah something happened there in that second to last split I
Think he knows it looks like the rain’s starting to come down a bit again too just fell out will no for pro positive people are running te off and some are running rolloff what do you think are run better I am definitely fan of the rolloffs because uh trying to
Find a tear off when you’re running through all this rough terrain and some sometimes you got to sit down and pull it I just think it’s a lot easier to pull that big knob on the roll off than trying to find a tear off do you know what we haven’t seen in a
Long time is a good rolloff failure you know whenever like somebody crosses the line there’s a ticker tape of like yeah got 100 ft of screamer hanging off the back fa F out Will’s got the bik skills to survive this it’s Phat will crosses the line goes seven 3.7 back on that
Fastest time of Lucas Cruz so again just a reminder for go through plus any protected Riders outside of that was always impressed about fil the way he’s riding his technique and just impressive your your favorite Rider’s favorite rider rider definely oh yeah it’s coming down Runing hard at the top
Again I do think it’s moving around this hill you know cuz a couple of minutes earlier it was raining down here looks to have held off now but it’s got heavier again the top of Cedric you’ve seen something else there well the leaves the win I mean it’s hard enough
Already with the rain the win and the leaves over the truck it’s just maybe a little bit too much yeah I feel like we’re barely squeezing it in on the weather window here at Canada this time of the year I was looking at the weather
A couple days ago and we were in the 70s the last few days and it looked like it was just going to get colder and colder and colder and now the next 10 days it goes from 70s to lower 50s and Rain almost every day so I think I think
We’ve got the last couple days of uh nice weather for the year now it’s going to take a turn second from Mart Wallace the rer second at the Canadian national champs earlier in this season he’ll be a little bum with that potentially Mark’s always capable of a
Big run here in St an Baptist Pono a rider who is really growing in stature this season for dval a and common Sal teammates of course B waku we are missing again this weekend we wh them well oh looking good there that look good through there me looks looks quick
He’s carrying a lot of speed even look like it’s dry for on 1.4 seconds at the four split having been nearly three up at the third that’s huge yeah the pons know how to go fast in the rain yeah they don’t hang around this family but fa per on 56.7 km
An hour through the speed trap is on his way to going fastest here in the elite men semi-finals by the look of things Pon goes fastest by .9 seconds so he did give time away towards the bottom of it but yep happy with it definitely happy with it Jacob J
For pivot Factory RAC on track back night the Canadian big big race for the Canadian Riders this as well they want this one so much don’t they regardless of what Coast they from yeah always something special to race it down there lo the in in the puff part
Two when it’s dry probably was sliding before when um on the section who was wet and he got the grip again or J D heavily walks off yeah weird one that that section kind of funnels you into a rut and it’s really rough in the R so
You try to get left of the rut to stay where it’s smooth but then you’re kind of on an off camber as you’re breaking OE Davis then smacking rims already 5T out of the gate big Australian who there’s that big jump we saw from Davis got a hustle probably one of the
Easiest oh you go first I go should I go you go now go there a red flag wave and Chaos up there at the minute Davis gets past J on track didn’t expect to find him there do it when he arrived on site Big Rock Lane in the middle of the track
Right there too I wonder if he hit that with his front wheel 15 from Le gang Davis Roger Vieira leaves the start hook are you going to see some proper send there yeah I know I wish we had that camera coming into the Rock section I’m
Sure we’ll have it for finals but he’s got a big hu going into that that he was doing in practice if he does that into the rain there’s another little hu really NE he’s he spend more time in the air than on the ground 7.6 seconds back at
The second split but big send there rogier not scared at all there is a Smooth Spot off that big ski jump if you want it bad enough and you pull up you can make it but it’s far that big jump he’s been doing his right here out of this left hand turn
No good call yeah it was a line before a couple years ago then people was jumping in into the of the rock section but that was a reach wasn’t it’s huge it’s is huge theier one those Riders really really powerful on the bike sort of skims the ground doesn’t
He you know you don’t feel the ground moving right now 8.8 seconds at the third split back then 57 km an hour through there yeah squashes that fittingly rides for impact racing yeah one of the Nic kids always like seeing this guy in the pits he’s always smiling always a really good vibe
He’s done it the hard way hasn’t he v he’s at the big races he’s done things the hard way he’s come up through the ranks he’s got on that private here program Nia team yeah he has definitely earned his position where he’s at now Vieira heading towards the big double
Drops and down to the line for the Brazilians the Drop Zone currently Irvin in it make moves down with that result from Vier now Joel Breeden on the bubble in first if D palari for rogue racing after skull team his both wheels on this bike have barely pointed in the same direction all
Year long so he’ll be enjoying this one oh he’s touched number three Italian national champion get some even better time now he playing some time up there yes on the credit C two when L trouble and flood tires you can see the big rolloff system on those goggles eer side of the
Lens yeah I like the rolloffs back in the day it was a little harder to decide because the tear offs when you pull a tear off you get a completely Clear Vision the tear off covers your entire goggle lens uh rolloffs is like a fine like a smaller little strip has a nice
Time out of them yeah Fe isop yeah as the years have gone on these top goggle Brands like 100% Oakley some of these Brands the rolloffs have gotten really wide so now you can pull that thing you get a lot of Clear Vision instead of a
Tiny little strip like we used to G on J oh it’s spay today for V because I told you last week if everything go good he’s such a good Rider oh yeah 1.5 seconds faster at the third split the young Frenchman one of the nicest guys out
There two seconds now for V is back it took a long time for him to find he was always such a deception at the end of the race I what do I do wrong spent a long time on Val solution Scott with Brandon fairo yeah riding good I think he had a
Good ride yesterday too backing it up here on track for a great finish this weekend hopefully he can hold it together for finals V goes big on the last drop but V over the line and goes fastest by 1.4 seconds ahead of bapti Pon that’s a great result for Gan V JS
Oh he’s going to be happy with that Max har and Stern for cube Factory racing we’ve already seen his teammate Simon chapp in the wars already in this semi-final session but it looks like the German has been in amongst them as well 13 and 1 half seconds back yeah too bad
Because he was riding better and better for Max yeah looks like another problem that second split up there somewhere he’s been in touch everywhere else still go for and the lending is good because he still dry yeah there’s that’s the only dry spot on the track I
Guess if you can make it the Landing part for the big gap is the only dry bet well bigon sequence is too because if you land front wheel and back wheel you definitely can have double flat tire in one spot there how much time do you
Think that Gap is worth is it worth it or is there a bit of downhill Showmanship in there yeah I mean it’s hard to say I I think a lot of riders like it cuz it makes you commit to the section but I stood there the other day
And looked at it and I thought if you could really push through it fast there wasn’t really much there I think for me it probably wouldn’t be worth the the risk here he is then the winner of the last UCI World Cup usin kalahan for the YT mob young
Irishman absolutely stunned the world of downhill with that result last weekend 3.4 seconds back in the third split now it’s 4.3 so not having as good a time here in monsan as he did in sow shoot trying to get through to the finals yeah weird one today with this
Simy there’s no points on the line like there normally is so I think there is a little bit of strategy you know if feel like maybe you could save some energy it is probably the roughest track of the whole year on the body so I think some
Of these results are going to be a little funky in semis and some of these guys I think upah just duck down behind the bars ped looking down front flat tire lot of flats today and it’s low speed Finn Isles the first of our big
Big names big dogs yeah I think Finn is definitely on Pace to potentially win this final later today he looked pretty upset when he crossed the Finish Line yesterday he was uh second at the first split and I heard that he broken axle yeah I saw the axle yeah just the shred
Like all of it it was only one/ third of it 182 beats per minute so wow 183 that’s that’s moving he can win the over if bruny finishes 20th or worse and he wins he won here last year split number four it’s good Got7 seconds listen to The Crow react to
Is yeah this is impressive another one of those Riders he’s protected for finals he’s a need to do this but he’s still thrown down a great run so Jimmy edmerson drops the 31st into the drops on as fines goes second so first of our title contenders is
Down Ronin dun leaves the star had a big crash yesterday dude huge crash go to his Instagram and look at that crash and he just bounced back up I talked to him at the finish right after him I’m like dude how are you cuz you had dirt everywhere he’s
Like H I feel fine it was a huge though and I watched the video and I was like yeah that’s a massive crash youth is a wonderful thing 4.9 seconds back at the third split for R and dun family are all here this weekend after that big second
Place result in Snowshoe West Virginia last weekend 7.2 back here though like say it’s probably everyone is going to try to qualify for sh get the best of um a sturdy Run for the final run to see okay I need to do that and that the man
Who finished ahead of him last time out oino Callahan has a a broken front rim and it went as high up as the Stevie Smith drop so that’s how long he was riding around that done crosses the line and 12 5.8 back a 417 Lri Greenland for the Santa Cruz Syndicate he’s been out of sorts in the second half of this season but a wet Mon and may just be the tonic second here last year Greenland for the Santa Cruz Syndicate yeah another Rider uh stand of the Finish when he rode through
Yesterday and his derailer had completely left the chat he was no longer on the bike he ripped that thing clean off and looking at the split times I think it probably happened at the top so I would guess he probably did his whole qualifying run without a change or derailer yesterday Greenland just
Jumping his way through there but slid out further up the track slightly had a foot off the pedal 14.9 back now 54.3 km an hour look like he have his chain on because he was pedling but yeah one of those guys I mean kind of protected into finals looks like he’s just cruising
Going to conserve some energy here a little bit of strategy there if you can take it mentally I talked to Dakota before he dropped in I was like man you’re protected for finals if you can take you know potentially treat this as another practice run and just save some
Energy for finals as as long as you don’t mind looking at the the leaders board and seeing that you’re 15 seconds off like this um you know I think it might be better in the long run potentially But Here Comes Greg Minar then the Big South African from the
Santa Cruz Syndicate teammate of lorri Greenland this man more experienced than anybody out there he’s 8.7 back there’s the drop that he Guinea pigged couple of years ago pioneered it yeah and it was even way gnarlier back then when he did it for the first time
I guess cuz he slid so hard on the back there at the end of the last wood section yeah 9.1 back for menar so heading towards it he draft so hard and I don’t see Greg Min losing the grip that easy told us earlier in the week
That it’s the challenge of this sport that he loves most and there’s no track as challenging as this one Menard down the line with a 42.4 17 17th so 8.7 back no flat tire but he lost the GR I was thinking he had the flood and he lost
The grip in the grass there look at the gear Matt Walker’s just pushed out the start to get the bike moving head that tricky Rock section for Madison Cyrus and Factory team the UK National Champion yeah interesting one this year we’ve talked about Matt all year one of
Those riders that I feel like can win any race at any time he’s a World Cup overall Champion had a hard time putting it together so far this year but having a couple of strong rides here late in the season but like fin Al in a lot of
Ways and that once it starts clicking no one will be surprised about it yeah they kind of ride pretty similar tooo which is funny but yeah I don’t know what happened yesterday you look pretty disappointed when he crossed the finish line and qualifying he started pretty
Strong at the top of the track and then just seem to kind of lose a bit towards the bottom 5.6 back at the fourth then nearly 60 km an hour through the speed trap in this Elite men’s semifinal at the UCI World Cup finals here in monan
For Walker crosses the line in 12th still Gan V fastest by half a second what a ride for yeah that time I would guess is probably going to hold up in that top 10 potentially for finals D another one of those Young Riders making a big name for
Him this for himself this season teammates of kabiro Scott Factory downhill team you see drive through that rander he’s doing better and better too and when he get confident danan like so impressed yesterday triy up put new lines there 8 seconds back on split number four 58 almost km an
Hour you must be so tired after all those practice and two final I mean two runs today in a totally different condition now it’s going to take a lot of energy today yeah tricky one you you you need to get yourself into finals but
The the big run is still to come so you got to try to manage that somehow Haren Stern in 31st into the Drop Zone next up burnard Kerr then Silva then a stack Williams d heart the big names are on way but this man we know when the
Conditions get loose when they get wet comes into his own burner cerr on track for pivot Factory racing yeah definitely one of those riders that could have a huge run here later this afternoon that look fast through there he’s 610 per second outside that time of VJ nice 310 so
Burner Kirk going to work here in monan yeah one of the few Riders seems like every time it rains and everybody’s stressed out Bernard’s always like ah I’m excited yeah they tend to be from the UK those Riders as well weirdly enough burnard CT heading down towards the Finish Line then looks pretty
Relaxed doesn’t it definitely cruising yeah you can see it just saving that energy goes fastest though by a 10th of a second that’ll work for Bernard and cruising down all right Dante Silva Canyon Collective Factory team another one of the local Boys in California with a lot
Dante has been strong here too he had a really good ride yesterday in qualifying I think it was 15th here last year incredible result seems to be one of those tracks he always kind of puts it together at he’s had some big smashes along the way this year hasn’t he but it
Never it never D we talk about SE Seth Sherlock as well it never it never seems to Dent the positivity does totally yeah every time you see him he’s always smiling always happy really like this kid great to see he’s find a way home for himself as well at Canyon Collective
Fitting in there tre8 seconds back though at four Sila he’s got work to done to do excuse me but great work from Berard Kurt yeah the most impressing thing from B was just like so relaxed like not even trying and wow I like about dant Sila like you
Say like such a nice guy is always happy he just stuck you put him on the bike he’s smiling well cross the line of 18 what what you reckon that bubbles developing into then Aon that time we’re looking for yeah maybe somewhere around there i’ guess a little
Behind Tom for common Sile IC Studio One of the fast guy as well like inz I always look at them at practice just because oh almost lost the front there front the bike trying to get out from underneath him yeah one of those riders that we always say he’s comfortable being
Uncomfortable yeah seems always Excel on those gnarly tracks valou and those those real crazy tracks seems like he’s always so strong really cool style on the bike too 6.4 seconds back it’s funny isn’t it common and mock off squ we we joked about Dylan Maples fitting right
In there and being a rider Cut From the Same Cloth as their other Pros Comal IC Studio they have a lot of wild men on that team as well y yeah it was way in the inside there he was in the grass yeah I like that a stack down toward WS
The line crosses it in 17 so 7 Seconds back so 418 M MC drops next up Jordan Williams definitely flat here is Jordan Williams and for specialized gravity won the opening race of the year in lens of Switzerland at the first time of asking as in the leite I love talking to him
Too because he say he say he’s never pushing or trying is in qualification or in practice and it look like just for racing I asked mechanic Nan yesterday do you guys have a wet setup that you’re move to he said no we’re from the UK our setup is the wet
Setup but again not overthinking it yeah I mean keep it simple you know you’re you’re a kid you’re learning you’re getting experience a lot of this is just going to come with time you know I think if you can keep things simple and and uh familiar I think that goes a long ways
Just focus on the tracks and the riding La lauron delor the team manager down there at Specialized he said that from the start that’s why Jordan was on the older bike he said we know more about that bike we can help him more with it we don’t want to give him a prototype
Bike and mess with his head too much Williams crosses the line in 30th there 12.2 back so brck McDonald in the Drop Zone on 31st here’s Danny Hart though and we should have a swear box in here for anytime we mentioned D Danny Hart in wet conditions
But yeah this this guy definitely knows how to ride when the rain starts coming down some of the most legendary runs of all time in the rain yeah absolutely mesmerizing on the viik in the wet maybe not quite wet enough up there for him as
We saw earlier on but he’s 10 for a second yep one of those guys I think later today if he really puts it down Danny’s had a lot of really good results here in St an he’s barely squeezed me out for the win a couple years ago which
I wasn’t happy about but always finds away here when the conditions turn like this I I like the fact you haven’t held on to it though that’s I’ve totally forgot about it goost first fastest time for Danny hard two10 of a second so he’s putting that treatment on somebody else
Today Aron yeah bit of confidence for him always good too Dakota Norton for intense Factory racing there well Aon you always say that he gets better as the track goes on there’s not many places that can offer as much track to play with as this place y yeah I don’t
Know that you know he would 100% prefer these conditions I think he’d probably prefer if it was dry but definitely capable we had a little chat in the pits before we left and I think it was kind of treat this as a practice run just to get some experience feel the track uper
Later what he like did he get it sounded like he HD something big but hopefully the bike held together did he get a mechanical day in that corner no no no no what he had the fo out sideways the bike was like scorp like maybe just cut
Out but it was bone dry Woods haven’t been out in the rain for a bit but W look at the exit speed that left hander yeah I would expect if he can uh you know kind of feel the track out this run make some Tire decisions you see him
Doing stuff here that’s looking easy it is not easy to do that yeah that’s the line from the junior again camera not doing a Justice that’s such a pull across there Norton yeah first race that Dakota’s actually been protected all the way into finals this year oh yeah and he’s actually he’s
In the lead like 600s of a second we were doing him at the service he didn’t realize yesterday he was protected all the way into the finals being in the top 10 of the series overall this year yet and uh he was very excited when we told
Him that cuz semis have been stressful all year well it’s it’s nice is going through for him that n lead you know you can see he a lot more happy P across there on take off Dakota Norton Taking Flight here on S nearly 60 km an hour
That’s highest speed so far yeah I think he’s got what it takes to win later today I mean you can see it in this run I know just from watching him he’s kind of having a cruy one here he had that big mistake up there and definitely gave
Away some time and still in touch Cru that looks like cruy to you I mean that’s just kind of how Dakota rides he just he just has such a smooth Style on the bike it looks like he’s not trying he’s always hitting everything just right such a talented Rider never looks
Rushed does he he never looks sort of like he just looks like he’s got TI even if the bike’s going in the opposite direction he is that’s the perfect way to put it I always feel like when I’m riding I need to charge into everything wide open Dakota will take a little
Outside line or do something to set something up nice to be done there didn’t go too deep there either Nails it yeah .6 so Dakota Norton the real deal in 2023 definitely clicking for him lately so good I mean he’s showing just this normal speed the speed he always had
Yeah he is this guy now we’ve had some discussions about this like dude it’s not surprising that you’re on the podium anymore like this is where you belong just get used to it and you can kind of see this starting to happen every weekend for him heads towards the finals
With the fastest time so far in the semis K Hearn and as spikes you are team just noticed couple of racers looking at that they’re sort of spinning up as they leave the start h a wee bit so it’s obviously quite damp up there yet yeah
In practice it pass in front of me on high speed with AF crank just land is SN oh I mean it’s brutal for the material here like not only for the wheels and tires just for everything and we talked about it earlier as well a lot of the
Teams in these big FlyAway Races they don’t have the spares packages that they do for the the bulk of the season in Europe it’s things can uh the van can get pretty empty quite quickly yeah there is a lot of uh bargaining going on in the pits the last few days people
Switching wheels or swapping tires or you know all kinds of Parts exchanges everybody’s kind of running out of spare parts here different line there you see he didn’t keep the inside went straight in the middle Karn I don’t know if it wasn’t purpose but looked good to me
Yeah I don’t know what happened at the top of the track I’ve been really impressive uh really impressed with Kai speed the last few weeks this last half of the Season he had an issue in Snowshoe last week I think he crashed in semis or something and didn’t make it to
Finals but one of those guys that’s like really good on track the last month he’s dirty on the left he crashed he crashed 9.7 if he can put one together I’ve been yeah like I said very impressed with his speed looking really good just got to
Get those timed runs down and I think he could he could be up there towards the front well really interesting you saw from last last shot the way he bent himself around that tree there’s a limit there you see triy to keep the inside his front wheel you don’t want to deal with
It that was really nice he’s impressive yeah it’s weird this mountain see the way the rain and the storms kind of roll through here you can see at this run kind of dry at the top raining in the middle dry at the bottom like you kind of go through different weather as you
Work your way down the track a lot of times it’ll be rainy and fully and the clouds at the top and the sun’s out at the bottom it’s always kind of done that hasn’t it there’s always one or two shots if it’s raining that look wetter
Than others and just such a big hill I guess yeah kind of right on the water here too so the way the storms roll through is definitely pretty unique for a lot of races well Walker drops Luke Meers Smith next on the bubble in for If Remy tyon knows this place as well as anyone does as the re continues to fall further up that looks like it’s moved back in but it won’t bother this man he loves the conditions difficult a if is if is on this game he’s for sure he was
On green at the top because he is so spectacular I don’t know if you guys remember in parin saw uh the old track he was doing lines that even in Leo gang that no one was doing almost like the front door there tyon oh he’s fast shifted The Way backwards not hanging
Around you don’t have time yeah yeah that’s impressive too cuz it looked like the rain was coming down at the top Harden we’ve seen all day so far and he was still green oh man smash how did he find that little SLO to change direction there inside inside right there too that
Was a good line in the drive but in the wet man fair play that’s a hard one to stick yeah we talk with this with Greg like you know that lineing inside like hard to take in the beginning but well in the dry but in the wet wow yeah
You’re basically just turning across off camers lots of curb rocks in there gets the h w nicely done on that step down 1.3 back for Remo the split number three 56.3 km an hour he lost more time on split number four I think aside from the
Re today the one thing you could have put Safe Money on this weekend was a Terry doing that Gap was yeah like like Cedric said I think that’s the first thing I remember every time I think of him I just remember him blowing by me when I was standing on the
Side of the track and Andor in the rain trying to figure out how to get down the main line and he went 5T off the main line through the grass and I’m like how do you trust the bike to stick in that was crazy 10 place for Remy ter on then
Fifth in nville Peru earlier in the season Luca Shao one of those riders that could just do it today in these treacherous conditions in mon so close in Snowshoe as well with that big crash if you stand up a little bit faster maybe we have that in the pocket that
Was crazy one of the Riders I think that could have potentially won it last week had that big crash like Cedric said and still actually put in a really good result well he’s in touch here 800s of a second Shaw at the second split murdering you know to explain a little
Bit you know our own now is not riding always on the side of the track when I walk is’s his fall on his hand calculating time lines and everything then yep trying to provide that Val you where I can but yeah style when he just
Up in the corner such a good style so good on the padal looks like he’s snapping the cranks off he’s one of those Riders really strong I think he’ll probably struggle less than a lot of riders will today with doing two runs on this track back to back he’s definitely
Got the fitness thing figured out second so the current off three Norton Hart burnard cerr def line here you see inside it went all the way down to the Steep shoot on the Rock and get that right it’s like two rocks making a little bit of a burn kind of safety line
For you know kind of safety line well we’ve had seven runs and seven Elite men’s winners this year so far in final 58 km an hour LCA Shaw is making a case here to be in amongst them but it’s 1.99 the Gap at split four two hard P outside that wood
Section and after you see St up and just you know try to save some some energy for us his afternoon yeah he’s a super smart Rider Luka he kind of knows you know that risk verse reward down here deep in the run when you know you’re on
A pretty good one you know just get it across the Finish Line get it in the finals throws a throws a couple of cranks at it then Luca Shaw down over the line in seventh as near on the rider who got us underway that time held up really really well drops in
31st Jackson gostone though another title Contender leaves the star hut for the Santa Cruz Syndicate yeah this is a guy that I would imagine will be completely all in for finals later trying to get that that win he’s got a shot at the Championship today he’s going to need a little bit of
Help if he wins today and BR finishes it for one oh yeah way or Worse what he can take it 4.2 seconds of the second and he’s and he’s playing look yep the boy is here he’s got the 13 on the number plate I love it one of my
Favorite numbers Jackson Goldstone the Canadian has home field advantage here in monan for the last round and fany taking an overall title home of him to the West Coast what I don’t know where did you find the 46 inside line again yeah had one of the most impressive
Saves I’ve ever seen in practice yesterday through that se he he does oh my just rode the nose for about 15 ft the the crowd applauded he stopped took a bow just to be alive do we know he have another run to do because the way he’s riding right now he probably think
He’s in final maybe they don’t tell him Cedric maybe massive oh gets the full backside past the rock yeah he’s making it look easy 54 seconds faster for Jackson gostone in the semifinals of the UCI World Cup finals here in Mons and the Canadian Rider in with a chance of a title today
And he’s doing everything in his part to make it straight forward I think this is a good move I mean he needs a mistake out of Lo and Loris later today set the bar High here do his right his un let’s see what it says at the bottom 5.7 ahead of to Norton
What up but did he Unleash the Beast too [Applause] early Lis what is he going to do so verier second in the overall at the minute needs a win for Brun finish third or worse today yeah but already at the top he don’t look as comfortable as Jackson
Was doing like you can see it’s two different level right there does this look more like a chiller to you Aon or hard to say I know extremely smart Rider he always makes it look easy 5.4 back at the second split so at the top it was
Obvious yeah could definitely be one of those guys saving a little for later I think he’s been I saw an interview with him yesterday it sounds like he’s not completely comfortable here yet I know Loris will figure it out as he goes I think he also had a crash this morning
In practice I saw a bit of dirt on his leg in his jersey when he rolled through the finish line but I mean you can never count this dude out when it comes to finals he’s going to give you your best same as all these top guys looks that
Way they can look like they’re struggling all week and then just find a way to get it done when it counts Loris verie always dancing on the bike as well you know when it when it’s getting complicated inside line here again too look like it’s a good line his footwork
Cedric is just incredible isn’t it the feet just stay exactly where he needs them to be there’s little dabs of pedals here and there exactly it’s all about timing he know exactly where to place those hard uh pedals keeping the inside here fif and qual yesterday so no points
For semi-finals today so maybe Lis ver just keeping the powder dry for finals unlike uh Jackson Goldstone who seem to just empty all the powder out and set fire to it yeah interesting to see what’s going to happen here it’s uh interesting looking at his bike it looks
A little stiff I’m wondering if uh you know if he maybe is just riding the full dry setup and I don’t know maybe it’s just me but kind of looks like it was a little defley in those rocks maybe he’ll be able to make some changes this run
For a lot of these guys are going to kind of feel it out it’s first time they’ve ridden the track in the wet all week go back make some changes for finals and then get ready to throw it down b d over the line and seven
Them well Aaron thank you very much for joining us more from Aaron Ginn later on this afternoon Ethan CRA then from the UK and if we talk about future stars of this sport my goodness this man has been great this year Cedric hasn’t he just a big treat I love
It really hard you know like it look fast to me here like sorry I get oh he got the inside line there in the Rock that’s so hard to take even in the dry that looked really really good pay off I hope it pay off because that line so hard to get there
Six then e luden Vu then nin and snow Ean c a top 10 Rider and he’s faster than Jackson gold stone at the minute I’m happy and still have some good eyes yeah there’s nothing wrong with the eyes the rest is hor why double that does the pan double in the middle there
We go you get the name the pan the pan G the pan po yeah the P oh but unclip there Scruffy free lap it for cig yeah so hard to clip after that too because you know you need to get on pedals and reset because now it’s high speed he
Lost some time 2.5 sprit number yeah there was a mistake in there though but reminds me uh reminds me actually a lot of Joe Smith Welshman okay just Cool Cam collected you know he’s just done something absolutely ridiculous on the side of the track he pulls up you talk
To him how are you yeah I’m okay I’m fine wow that’s big lending there you can see full on B front and rear speed down there 57 km an hour just like crazy and on the kind of Grease is her face as well it’s not like it’s full on bond dry
Yeah you talked earlier on the weekend about how you need to cover the brakes as well because you can’t ask oh lost it there unclipped saved it and cracks on [Applause] no wow well that’s what it takes an international Dino race and you’ve got to have those moments but then you’ve
Also got to recover from them e big there oh my my goodness G Norton Heart Way at fastest so far at the minute but Ethan cck’s got lines up there you know I didn’t know it was the line there he gely GED the whole thing and
Again he spent more time in the air than on the ground Craig 4.6 seconds but as I say if he get this to line and into the finals and he’s got lines and he’s got creativity that we’ve not seen from anyone else definitely I mean we saw says something
At a world cup doesn’t it exactly we saw the best rider in the world before him like Jackson as well yeah plenty of people talking about where he’ll be riding next season George Ean C down towards the line second second by 5 Seconds off that time of Jackson goldone next up though that
Means a lot though here we go another one Andreas C Continental Affton one of the Riders right in the mix this weekend sorry I saw that L one took like way the inside of the double drop uh I called I called K our our predictions Cedric only based on two
Things the first was he went past us on track during practice like a microwave off the top of a block of flats like he was going unbelievably quickly and secondly it’s pretty straightforward for him isn’t it everyone can get caught up in the Andreas Co just wants the second
UCI World Cup win yeah he just won another win he got one at home let’s go it’s end of the season he want to get it and he’s in touch on Sprint number one and he have everything you know to be able to Champ today W save that the trees
Hurt huge huge sa from Co he is protected so he can have those moments I I want to see the replay on that he he saved it in the I mean full grip into the tree there’s going to be a lot more leaves down in that corner after Andreas
Co rattled that tree wow the tree oh we need a yeah we need to see that one again but Andreas Co we need a doctor for the tree though get a tree surgeon up there Andreas C for continental affid and so we know he’s been in trouble in that
Really really steep but that’s not actually unlike Val trentino through there as he heads towards the Stevie Smith drop he not pushing as hard any anymore you know you know I mean CL yeah he can ride it he can ride fast but looks like he need yeah just take
This ride for study he land really deep there what a year though Continental afon have had Rachel afon at start of the Year back in the races winning them Andy Co won that race and Le gang home race Charlie Hatton won the UCI World Championships at home in Fort
William I would be curious who have the best tires for today is there like you know it’s uh how many manufacturer uh three or four if maybe a little bit more but like really competitive maybe four yeah I would love to know who have the best tire for today because it’s a
Little bit of the halfway and you have rocks and roots and soft patch and Josh Carlson just sent us a video up from the bottom and there’s two or three very different tires all of them full of just this Dusty sort of dirt that’s getting stuck to the tires is really really
Difficult there’s not enough moisture on the track to clear them but at the same time there’s enough dry moisture to stick to them 11.7 seconds back nearly 60 km an hour as we saw today so another man that we know has got more in the tank for finals definitely we will see
Some big big H shs the afternoon I don’t feel like we’re any closer to knowing just who’s going to play what cards this afternoon this semi-finals four Riders going for the win Manar blank blank and so drops in the 31st then here we go w what look at the strength
Straight the strength Andreas cair to keep the front wheel pointing the away it was going Troy broen then second fastest in qualifying broen oh looking good but you never know if it’s clean or quick because for me it looks fast but it looks clean as well then maybe the clean
Is fast or I don’t know it looks clean to me and quick yeah bro a frustrating season in many ways he’s had good results but not a win but there you go Cedric your eyes again don’t deceive you 4 T of a second who who who he’s in W different
Line you see when I saw this line in practice uh Lo was doing it so good and it’s a a little Rod Gap like small but you’re on the breaking area and you have to lift the bike and GAP it and Corner straight after that I mean it’s a lot of
Things in one time it’s a lot of things to keep a track off let’s see what the next split says for Troy broen then lot some time seconds back I couldn’t see where though well the I mean the wood section we was talking about with Miram and GW the new wood
Section it’s really tight and where we saw the big impact of uh C and I mean if he had trouble I mean we’re talking about TR BR probably one Rider we can ride doesn’t matter the trail in the world he will be there he’s so skilled look at the beautiful colors
Here in Quebec 57.1 km hour through the speed trap for br that’s fast that’s fast because there’s a lot light lighter than Co yeah exactly Troy Bren an absolutely unbelievable part8 ratio for the Australian so amazing on the bike the way he’s riding look at his body
Position look at the work of the suspension outside line and inside he opened up w w whoo wo W you see when he start to hit the back break oh broen big moment there off the Rocks back axle of that Canyon stepping out he manages to
Get a Galler back up again shoots his way out to the woods only tried can save that wow he was sideways almost 90 deg well this one could spell trouble for Greg manard he might qualify here if if Troy broen or L bruny beat his time 3.9 5.8 now for try
Back number four I mean we say it every week but he’s just great to watch isn’t he BR just absolutely superb bike rider bike rider it’s a mix of like kind of PMX and aggression and finesse of touch Troy broen heading down towards the line
Then was he going to stop the clock at he goes fourth for a 5.8 back of that time of gostone so still four fastes for broen by no means a disaster punches the air yes here we go again we see slip out gate for ly Brun what is happening L
Bruny closing in on the title spins the wheels in the way out the start hop too much power oh double down a step down there what is we’ve seen an incredible run from Jackson Goldstone to go fastest in this semifinal so far what is the man who’s got the overall points leaders
Jersey going to show us of his hand the professor L bruny I like that name the professor well everything’s just factors everything in everything’s perfect he does all theal he knows exactly what to say into a camera who it’s going to affect who’s going to hear it where the
Speed is on the track where speed that no one else can find CR that’s a secret Qui he’s quick because B when he look like this there we go there you go one 10th up a second faster for bruny ni as he heads down through the woods had that
Big crash in Snowshoe West Virginia Nice double there before that uh R Ben off off sat down Brun 155 ft per minute you see the way he did it just like sit down Rich yeah not in a rush at all I thought he had a problem somewhere but bruny no it’s not final
Yet wow look at the way the bike is sticking to the ground as well look how dry it is in there as well W you see that he just enter in the in the beginning of the corner and use use the burm to just set up the all the corner
Coming in but it’s a big off gamber there if he wins later on in the finals there’s no one can catch him wow wow that’s going to be critical I want to see his line now is going to is he going to double in he comes second in the
Finals later on this afternoon no one can catch him you see that the way he took the inside everyone tried to open before that b he just went in inside no problem it’s third place today where things get tricky for Brun he does the Pano head through there you see the guy
That’s like wow yeah Brun given the crowd their money’s worth this afternoon in the elite men’s semifinals the fastest 30 plus any protected Riders outside LP will go through so some time he lost some time on the wood section number two but yeah L bruny as we said the
Professor one of the cleverest Riders out there he’ll be using this semi-finals run to just get a feel for the track and what it’s doing it looks like the conditions are swung back the other way Cedric looking a lot dry I guess yeah but I guess that’s why he
Lost some time on wood number one and two um both together 60 km for destroyed that rock y well there’s no more rock there anyway oh it’s gone BR yeah lost some time in the technical Parts maybe saving it for the final being smart like you say the professer
Know what you have to do to get to win inside line here inside line look confidence like bruny so tied to that tree and Pad P blue pad he’s never looked in trouble at all through here 2.4 still in contact but I think he’s not giving everything that you know you
Have a final run today you have to deliver and we know he changes things up between semi-finals doesn’t do the big gap no so he does change things up between a semi-final and a final run I just wonder if somebody’s going to show him that run of Ethan CRA and go there’s
A couple of lines up there like 4.3 seconds back pulls another tear off in absolutely no rush at all 4.3 back he probably knows that l as well had the cruising run you think they’re friends they’re probably yeah I don’t know because he’s not even trying but he’s
Still like four second not even trying but he drives his push bike at 60 km an hour down the side of a mountain L bruny cross the line sits down just to send the signal though that was a cruiser third place still good enough for that
Dly drops the V makes it through Jackson goal stone though well that’s look at Troy look at Bernie he know he cruised down look at the smile from Lor V A2 the two Riders going for two of the four going for the title today this one is
Also in amongst them and he’s just gone fastest Jackson gostone on the number 13 plate Cedric loves it yeah because I was so scared so someone give me 13 I’m I’m not racing well Jackson gold stone wow he knew to he knew it yeah but
How much more can he give in the finals did he deliver a little bit too early there’s a few Racers you’d say maybe with that but Jackson is not one of them oh insane the reserves of talent that young man has there he is with ly bruny that’s almost funny to say because
That’s that’s a new generation crucially Cedric no the big names going for the title all through the finals trouble free and here’s how they finish the semis Ethan cig second behind Jackson gostone then bruny Norton broen Hart Kerr VJ is and verier they p on Shaw Cruz pen pazari
Teron mles OK kalahan Richie rud 19 Jacob Dixon big run for him in 20th and Co who is protected Vidal Walker Don Atwell Inay estack Remy Meers Smith in 28th Silva Levesque dly Minard in 32nd blinkin salw wind Masters aarn Wallace and N Luke Meers Smith 38 Matt Walker 39 froger Vieira 4th Jordan Williams 41st Brook McDonald 42nd then it’s MCD Williamson Malloy olier reading connley Greenland Edmonson Layman bran faren Bren faren did so well
To see of that rear flat off the last drop Meck Irvin Davis St chaet Hogan via Li did not Start well there you have it more questions and answers ahead of the elite men’s finals look at the replay but look how aggressively Jackson Goldstone set about this track here in Mons and one is a junior Here hasn’t raced a lot here not a baller to him so
Good timing on everything he’s on point wow it’s like it’s his local track isn’t it like he knows in the back of his hand but managed to get the job done for the Santa Cruz CND today fastest in the semi-final Let’s take a look at what the schedule is for the rest of the Weekend here is that schedule um Elite women’s final 700 p.m. Central European Time then it’s the elite men from 8:00 tomorrow all about cross country Olympic men on the 23 at 3:00 then the elites on track from 7 we’ll see you There Our sport travels the world searching for the planet’s toughest racetracks he’s going for [Applause] it is on of his life vertical desense line with roots and the dolomites no room for mistes today but there is one track that stands above them All Mount s an only the very very fastest wi here this is where Champions come to be crowned

Why are we just getting 30-55 sec. of footage for every rider? It was better with RedBull
Are finals going to be shown?
When your stream the Finals ?
Why does it seem to always rain when there's a bike race?
Boring pointless semi finals. First time ever been bored watching this racing. Throw the changing mountain weather conditions and injuries in the pot and i expect that the best riders in the world will not be taking the overall.
Are they goign to show the finals but looks like its already been
Who cares about senseless semis???
We want Red Bull, Rob Warner and final runs back for the next year.
Shouldn't the final be happening like… right now? Where's the stream?
Ah so apparently the final is only broadcast on the paid GCN+. What a clown show. I'll just watch Ben Cathrow's summary tomorrow.
Where is the finals stream ???
девки жгут!
They talking about the 2nd woods but dont show it lol
49:30 TUNE!
Film footage is crap Commentry is crap Semis are crap No finals to watch unless you pay 🙄Load of shit
Congrats on not showing Kerr's run…. your coverage is missing so many key moments its a joke
when are you showing the final???
BK goes 4th in the finals!!! He deserves a World Cup win before retiring ✌️
2 things, sack the camera man on the rock section , we want to see more than the front tyre ffs. And who puts 2 girls or men hosts but in this case 2 girls who don't have a clue about what or who they are talking about. Bring back redbull
🔝🔥⚡
How do they manage to miss placing a camera in the crucial section at EVERY round 😮
Go Jacko.
I hope this is the last ever semi final.
Managed to get through most of the season accepting Ric's commentating but something snapped today, it's really poor and it's not improved enough over the season. I'm sure he's a lovely guy, just not suited to commentating. The amount of times he cut across Aaron or Cedric, who were saying something interesting, only to tell us the name of the rider or where they were from yet again!Please change things up for next year.
Woeful coverage. I had to turn off the sound. Boring and annoying. The camera work is amateurish. Ruined it! Bring back Rob Warner and Red Bull.
The New UCI Downhill Coverage SUCKS!
I‘m very upset with what people do with this sport to ruin it!
First, we only get "live" semi finals, which is more than a cramped highlights video.
Shitty cameras been used, for filming, not even the whole race get filmed, and for the finals we have to pay… what a shit show!
In my opinion, DH is still too small to mess it up like this, and to get it on paytv!
Who wants to pay for a shit show!?
Getting rid of Rob Warner and putting the finals behind a paywall are the worst thing to happen to DH in years. It's like they actually want it fail. This years coverage makes the Redbull years look godlike.
I guess we all miss redbull. This is really pain to watch 🙁
DH worlds are officialy dead now. Sad
the whole year you are so selfish this channel! all your replays are Semi-final, no Finals!
I Am Sure I Could Get Down There Just as Fast and i am 55.🙂I Did 56mph Down a Hill on an MTB Once Still With Brake Blocks Before Discs !!
whats the letter (P) means?
