🏆 Andi Kolb Takes 2nd Place in Les Gets! 🏆
It’s been a weekend of two halves at Les Gets. After a mostly dry weekend of practice, quails, and semi-finals, Saturday brought unexpected weather changes. With rain forecasted, the schedule shifted, cancelling Junior races and moving up the Elite Men’s races.
Race day practice couldn’t fully prepare the riders for the mud bath awaiting them. The 5-foot straight off the log became a slippery challenge, claiming even world champ Charlie Hatton.
But Andi Kolb was undeterred. On board the A.200, Andi tackled the treacherous track with precision and calm, going green section after section. A remarkable run in what Aaron Gwin described as “the most difficult conditions I’ve ever seen at a UCI DH World Cup.”
Andi’s tactical brilliance led him to a spectacular 2nd place finish, behind Amaury Pierron and ahead of Greg Minnaar in 3rd. As the rain fell and the French fans cheered, Andi celebrated with an epic crowd surf.
🇫🇷 The French know how to party! 🇫🇷
