Crazy conditions surrounding this race so amazing skills from riders making it down.
Quite a few crashes but stoked for Miriam and Benoit .
It's great to see Miriam back at the top.
Great rides!
It was certainly a dramatic race. Feel for Tahnee although she's had a great season. The winners were well deserved, Coulanges run was wild! Really pleased to see Reece Wilson back at the sharp end too. Seems like such a nice chap too.
My PB Fantasy team was spectacularly bad though, only scored points with Dak. Oh well lol
I was riding there that week and it was insane how slippery it was. Large parts of the track looked unrideable to me. The EWS tracks were the same, there were some freshly cut sections that were steep, off-camber, and just had kicked-in catch berms that looked impossible to ride. Even the easier trails were insanely difficult. It has been a long time since I have been so thoroughly humbled 🙂
