2021 World Cup Downhill discussion

Diprela and Pierron crashed at the French cup race last week, apparently he almost bit his tongue off and had black eyes so must have taken a decent knock to the head. Wanted to pick him in my team but appears he isn't racing.

Yeah, probably. Both on the quali starting list…but that’s just based on results from last race and being protected.

Track looks SICK. Troy or Loris for my money, Daprela if he can hold it together but there are too many chances to go wrong haha.

That drop, road gap into berm is NASTY now, will be sketchy as hell in the rain and once the berm ruts up.

Flat out on fresh grass off camber makes me very happy

He didn't miss by a little ...

Given the sketchy run in, surprising there isn’t more.

Looks like Daprela is racing.

That step down to hard left looks great, I'd be walking that for sure!

Just that bit you'd be walking down? Steep, Off camber wet tree roots are pretty easy I guess.

They're real hard to walk down. Don't ask me how I know.....

Just been watching Bernard Kerr's practice vid from Day 1. If elite riders are crashing us mortals would have no hope.

Oh and this ..
