Next up Finn Isles the next to the title Challengers here we go Finn is winner last time I wait for the noise on the way down the track for the Canadian it’s a reach but if Finn can win this race and bruny finishes 20th or worse and ver

A7 For Worse gold stone third or worse he could take the title so this is looking really good yeah was that on purpose though cuz that line we saw but no one was using it it is way better going in it tightens it up around the

Tree a more super fast through there for Miles well I cannot wait to see the next bit time then well that’s quick bang bang he wants in the season on the win left right good night from fin ises wow p on his way through not hanging around at all fin he clipped it

Was a for too yeah it kind of looks like he’s been riding with a chip on his shoulder all weekend keeps having setbacks that aren’t really showing his true speed so if he can put it together here but he won last year he won last year of a broken Shen ring let’s watch

Him through this rock section this is going to be wild yeah I was going to say this is going to be wild he’s going to charge it in here 4 seconds now split three for fines oh easy buddy fin go St hard and Mon and a notch

Too much dang it I’m just going to say he’s got to get around this left just one clip too much there it goes that is how easy it can all just fall apart 4 seconds to the good and heading for the hot seat but he’s going toide the last jump yeah [Applause]

Look I saw doing it oh look at him yeah well as Cedric Nails the Protections in the com Booth fin is commiserations cuz that man has raced with his heart on his sleeve all year long he’s thrown all at it but here we go back to the top for

Really what was one of the standout performances off the semi-finals for Gan VJ yeah he’s throwing it down here this week and definitely a surprise standout Rider so far on the gas on the pedals there that was good oh yeah 1.2 faster at the first split we know that Shaw

Left time up there but not that much big inside there inside line yeah inside line front line there for V oh I love what he ride like this finally finally we’re seeing the bass of him here today oh come on it would be so good if he go

Through today it would makes it would means a lot to him for his confidence and come on oh nice 710 so he’s still in the lead here VJ oh new line line front a little bit he’s charging holds it together past the point where fines came off still in

Green lost a little bit of time but nothing through the second wood section and gaps across that lower bit really really smoothly keep some air in the tires oh he’s extending he’s G faster he’s gone faster VJ what a run jeez Gan VJ heads towards the finish line and

Heads towards the hot seat gam VJ beats Lucas Shaw’s Time by 00 of a second well done what a run if you had wandered into a bookmaker shop in Quebec and tried to put money on that look what it means to him he was running after that for a long time TBO the

Finish Line always helping him out but you cannot take your eyes off this one it’s heating up really nicely VJ is not in the hot seat but look how fast burner car looked through there yeah he went around the Rocks there on double drop there way in the inside yeah seems like

Bernard always had good results on the podium here last year seems to always be fast at the top of the track here too you can see him really working the bike getting in out of these turns on the pedals half a second faster for Kerr oh that’s

Good need a steering stabilizer on for that one little swap Aon track tracks looking absolutely amazing Now isn’t it as we get towards the finals of this Elite man’s R yeah the dust is even coming back up through here you can see the roof flying around

He’s carrying a lot of speed on exit speed on those Corners so quick burnard cerr it’s going to be interesting now on the move for pivot Factor 1.1 faster that’s going to be a good run and you know he’s going to try everything in

His raw Garden this is not going to be a problem here it’s going to be full on HS that up from the top that one’s pretty wild you either kind of got to take it easy make sure you get the wheels on the ground before getting the wood or you

Got to send it all the way from the top PK’s got some pretty wild lines in here too I don’t know if he’s going to do it nope not in the wet he had a big double he was doing there in practice but that would be so gnarly right now slippery it

Is he was fifth in palar and saland Dora as well earlier on in the year still a second faster though BK through here good oh nicely done there looked like he went a little deep off that drop didn’t get the second second big launch there but still

Looking good oh he’s in the move back on him burner CER it from the overalls at the start of this one yeah one of those guys you you kind of fancy that if it did rein today would have been right in amongst that burner was he going to stop the timeout go

Fastest by .4 seconds burnard cerr where did he the time at the bottom of this one all right here we go here we go buckle up everyone L bruny is on track can bruny take another title today that a different R from the semi-final he’s pending when he was actually cting in semi

Then oh that’s what we’re talking about here if you’re going to pull a roll off there’s nowhere good to do it n of a second faster for bruny bruny on the attack I want to smash them that’s what he said in that interview at the start

Show and this is how you go about doing it his specialized gravity teammate Finn is was on a Stormer of a run only for a crash to end his hopes of this title wow really clean there really good here he comes like bruny then on Clips on clips

And CLI we don’t often we see that from L BR en clipped and the front wheel just sliding outside line here doubled over that little road is there a problem for bruny somewhere he gets a few pedals in there you can’t take your eyes off this one is like bruny

On his way towards a second split knif he had no choice there because he was so in inside he had to Pedal hard he know he made a mistake there to be inside he did a couple time in practice as well super sharp inside three T of a second

So he did lose time with that on clip but crucially he’s still in the lead of this one but you know when Lo is pedling with a side of the legs you know it’s going to be I mean I think the crank and the p is still crying 155 heartbit

There’s no way he’s on only at 155 right now if he is I quit forever he’s had that big rivalry rivalry with omaron yeah for for several years and now it’s everyone else seems to have up their game around him and he’s having to win this title the hard

Way two10 of a second as he enters the first wood section tight it’s tight but still in the green for bruny closing on the title closing on the Finish Line the fans continue to move out the woods down towards the Finish ball oh it’s getting close 700 of a second

Though he’s usually slow so strong at the bottom but it looks like that intensity is he’s just just getting it down it’s so hard to tell with him cuz he’s so hard to tell cuz he’s so precise Brun towards the bottom of the track now like bruny is this going to be good

Enough for theot C survive another rer goes fastest by at 10 for a second in monan that is it that’s it that’ll do it that will will do it like bruny then will win the UCA World Cup Downhill overall title in 2023 with that

Run what a ride two to go what a ride only one of them had a mathematical chance of winning this one today but bruny come with the AR come with the man super bruny it’s really rare we see him doing mistake and then clipping like

Like he did at the the wood section at the top there’s lauron delor congrat congratulating them team manager for specialized well we have two more at the top the race isn’t over yet the season isn’t over yet for this man Ethan cek who has done nothing but impress all year

Long started the season with oh went hot in that corner and cl and almost went off track yeah we know some of these other guys like Dakota and these guys put some time in at the bottom and really gave a lot up at the top so if he

Can kind of manage this a little bit he’s been riding so good through the last half of the Season had some injuries and I think issues early in the year 1.2 with that mistake though he’s got a lot of track left to play with yeah not bad to be hanging it out gets

That double in there out of that corner nice that’s crucial some nice BS young kid too I think he’s only what 20 years old was uh seventh here last year I think and that’s second place in the semis fast through there that was quick like the way CH rection bang bang that’s

What you want there cuz it’s quite a bit of of a cber oh let’s see what the second split says for Ethan C super fast outside there the exit speed of our Corner was really quick one to go after the Englishman yeah we saw bruny struggle

Out of that left hand turn up there a little bit looked like he got the exit speed a little bit better heading towards the second split what’s it going to tell us three1 of a second off that hot SE time with bruny all of a sudden it’s back on for Ethan

Creek that was uh I mean we was 1 point2 on split number one double slide on the St Smith drop there does does his best to go straight off the top of the Stevie Smith drop and manages to hold on to Ethan cek throw in

The catchen sink at this one 58 km an hour through the speed gun oh he’s charging by three of a second he’s find six get some emergency press up in the middle of rock section oh definitely did some push up at the and he saved that

One really good I’m back on the pedals on the ex line on the way through the triple I have not seen anybody jump that from so far back well are we going to see eight different winners at eight different runs oh you have to Gap that

One Gap it nice oh just gets it looks okay seconds faster from Ethan cek yeah it is so the tire I was say it looked like he absolutely laying it down through those rocks I don’t think we’ve seen anybody ride it that aggressive what is happening in Downhill Racing in

2023 Ethan Crick heads towards the bottom is he heading towards a debut win Ethan cck down towards the line cross the go fastest Inland Ean Crick from the UK look at what it means yeah that a boy what it means love to see this D Hill though this is what

It’s all about Jackson Goldstone of the Santa Cruz Syndicate the star of the semifinals the star of this season in many ways leaves the star H what can he do can he go faster than his Su it was yes so I think the track is better than

It was I think generally what we’ve learned this season is if the question is about Jackson gone the answer is usually yes drifting off the lip there oh he’s not keeping anything he’s so technical too as the track gets further down here if he’s you know he’s been

Proven he’s got the fitness it really surprised me being a smaller Rider at tracks like Soul this year where you think like man doing that oh yeah 10 for the second yeah he just seems to find a way on these physical tracks I think he’s just so skilled you know he uses

Less energy it looks like than a lot of Riders on the bike so light little gaps here and there doesn’t smash into stuff is Jackson Goldstone going to be the first repeat winner of 2023 it’s only happened twice before in the history of the sport a different round at every a

Different winner at each round was your favorite play tan yep I love the number 13 I love that a lot of people don’t like it I’ve never been suspicious or superstitious I’ll say one last run I’ll run the 13 plate nice cap yep I love it

It’s just a power move you know when people are freaking out and it’s like N I make my own luck let’s go get it O scores quick there yeah that gold stone and free fall at the minute though nice and patient he’s good for a young Rider you know like that speed good exit speed there that’s where we saw bruny kind of struggle to get out of that turn get on the pedals jumps through there looks

Like a semi he said he was just having fun and that was a fun run looks like this is more of the same oh yeah always another seems to have more in reserve Jackson Goldstone now what is a second split good 2.2 seconds faster you can hear the Crow from

Here game on where you go where is he going to start from the top lach it from the top straight laes it from the top of the Stevie Smith drop yeah scrubbing he’s feeling it he’s definitely got a good flow going on this track not smashing into the holes like a

Lot of Riders oh scrubbed off of that 58 half km an hour through this speed Trav a rider who had such an impressive debut start to the season as an elite Rider with 3.5 seconds faster in the finals for Jackson yeah this is coming together up onto

That top there got to get through this left how can he do that really and he still pending perfectly Jackson Goldstone on the move in monan is Canada a b to get it’s second winner in his many years at his home R this is going to be a celebration if he

Can pull this off to case that a little bit maybe hopefully got a in tire there wasn’t much in it .8 seconds nearly the 4 second Mark that we saw Finn Al up around earlier in the Run wow what a run almost 4 seconds in this track right now that’s huge well

Done got to get it to the line absolutely huge we are witnessing a huge arrival of a massive massive Talent yes he won earlier on in the year in Italy but this one is going to mean even more Jackson gostone crosses Jackson Goldstone wins his home round in monan

In 357 what a run 4.3 seconds faster than Ethan Creek as the CR swamp the Finish bolt oh re me the crowd yep yeah he put a stamp on it there what a race oh my God what a day I uh really stepped my game up from

Yesterday and uh it just went lights out on that run I had nothing left at the bottom I came across the line saw that I was green and I just like I don’t know I can’t even explain how happy I was I wanted to try and do the Stevie Smith

Bike throw but the people came at me too fast that I wasn’t able to do it but that one is for you Stevie miss you with the flag Jackson Goldstone takes the win at his home run in Canada The Whistler native may be on a different Coast but it doesn’t matter

It’s all Canada Jackson gold stone wins in monsan and Quebec well now the champag Jackson gostone here’s confirmation 4.3 seconds faster than Ethan Creek then bruny curve VJ up in fifth like bruny takes the 2023 UCI Dil World Cup overall title licks the trophy on his way past why not
