One of the best tracks we have in Portugal, definitely the video doesn't do it justice. It's steeeep and technical, specially in the middle section. Stoked for the races!

That root drop thingy into the turn half way into the vid was a sweet section. Looks like everyone was having a blasr

Great footage 🤙🏻
This track looks like it would be faster on a 26er or a 26/27.5 mullet.
0:27 JULIAN!!!!
Who is the one in 5:56?
Those last few ,really thought some frames were going to explode! Loved that course !
Downhill is not dead.
Looks like a lame track. Easy for the mechanics to set up suspension at least with the total lack of rocks and roots
meu sonho ter uma bike de downhill mas não tenho condições acham que podem ajudar
The bikes are so quiet now! It just doesn't sound as gnarly as it used to…
When you hear "sweating like a [REDACTED] [REDACTED] mate" you know its rob warner
