How good was the World Cup race at Vallnord, Andorra?
We finally got a steep, gnarly and technical track that pushed riders right up to (and beyond in many cases!) their limits.
Thanks to Redbull we’ve got the winning men’s and women’s runs here for you to watch again:
Today’s women’s race marked the 4th race of the season and the 4th woman to take the top spot.
We saw an amazing ride from Rachel Atherton and a strong sign that she’s beating her dislocated shoulder from Fort William. We saw a savage crash from Tracey Hannah. We saw Myriam Nicole put local knowledge to great use … but also killer riding, experience and a great race head.
The men’s race was an utter crash fest.
We saw the World’s best eating shit – including an utterly savage crash from Fort William’s Man of the Match Jack Moir. Danny Hart looked set to take the win and heroically survived the biggest near death drift we’ve seen all season – sadly for him, he couldn’t hold off Minnaar and Brosnan. Incredible riding.
