Hmmm my knowledge tells me that Nico has the biggest winning margin very marginally over Chris kovirak, But I could be wrong...

Yeah a couple of months back Dirt mag had a feature on largest dh winning margins.

Nicholas had #1 and Chris #2.

Downhill World Cup #1
Fort William, Scotland - June 2, 2002

1. Christopher Kovarik (Aus) 4.33.98
2. Cedric Gracia (Fra) Volvo-Cannondale 4.48.00

So if my calculations are correct he won by 14.02 seconds

A dude wrote to Dirt after that article was published and calculated the percentage victory for all those times based on the length of the track. Kovarik ended up on top with a 5.12% win over Nico's 4.51% win....but in terms of winning margin Nico still wins.
