The 2024 Downhill World Cup series is back for another packed weekend of racing. We will keep this article updated with videos throughout the week, check out all the action so far below.
Finals:Troy Brosnan | That was a pretty wild way to end an insane weekend, I'm not gonna lie! I decided to just go for it when it started raining and using my experience I managed to stick a pretty decent run in the wet. Pretty happy with the result and looking forward to a good break at home before the second half of the season. Cheers!— Troy Brosnan |
Jack Moir | Finals day for the Les Gets DH World Cup was wild. With incoming storms looming the junior race was cancelled in an effort to get the elite racing done before the storms hit. Rain started falling right before we got underway and the mens field looked to be taken home by the first rider down the hill, until right at the end. Watch along to find out what happened.— Jack Moir |
Ed Masters | What a crazy day. So many crashes, Ryan didn't get to ride (yet) and some legendary runs were thrown down!!— Ed Masters |
