2022 World Cup Downhill discussion

Connor can fairly dominate a berm too. Keen.

You know it.
He looked pretty comfortable on the new rig last week too. Good things to come hopefully.
I think it’s still hard to pass up the fact this is the Commencal kids’ backyard though

Vital Raw vid has some great clips.

Most notable Minaar spudding it in off the stump gap at the 13:40 mark

Yes and no. My original thought, but seems it’s a completely new track. They may know the terrain and idiosyncrasies of the dirt, but not the track.

I still backed them.

Oh we all backed them, and shall all win handsomely

Interesting if it’ll be the same Frenchies at the top this round. Couple of them like Vergier and Coulanges have struggled in the wet this year - I wonder if the drier conditions will suit them better? Especially for Coulanges with his lanky limbs and the way he rides with the back end skating around anyway, I wonder if he might feel more comfortable in this kind of loose terrain?

But damn, Greenland is looking so at ease on the Santa Cruz, absolutely ripping but still getting steezy over the jumps - and Iles looks to be loving the new proto Spesh too.

EDIT: Forgot Saurez - he could be a dark horse this round too. Surely they must get plenty of dry and loose running in Spain!

So many riders on form right now, it’s awesome!

Frenchies top qualifiers. Gwin in 5th too!

 

[jrewing]

I’d like to see Gwin get it And Luke M-Smith will be top Aussie. Guy is on it

Is Troy protected? I’m thinking not and it looks like he might not have qualified for some reason

Troy is protected... has a P next to his name in the timing sheet, must have had a crash or something after sector 2 as he went from 20th to 141st

It's great to see Angel doing as well as he has been. I've been a fan of him since he was playing second fiddle to Aaron Gwin in the YT Mob.

Troys Insta said he had a flat tyre in qualifying. Hope he goes better for the race.

My talk of Gwin being washed up may have been a tad premature.

Can you trumpet that Connor and Troy are washed up too please?

Throw me into the mix also, If you're feeling generous.
