The rain stayed away in Innsbruck for the Crankworx Downhill, with a fully stacked field ahead of the World Cup in Les Gets. Two riders would take home the gold in spectacular fashion.
Full Results –
- Loris Vergier (2:38.936) // Valentina Höll (3:01.060)
- Troy Brosnan (2:40.218) // Nina Hoffman (3:03.094)
- Finn Iles (2:40.516) // Tahnée Seagrave (3:04.308)
Elite Men
Loris Vergier proved that his flat tyre in Leogang belied his speed, taking a 1.5 second win over a flying Troy Brosnan. That’s a healthy margin on a track that was just over two and a half minutes long. Will we see a Frenchman a top the podium in Les Gets? Or will Troy continue his form?
Elite Women
Vali looked to be cruising as she went almost ten seconds up on Scotland’s own Mikayla Parton, the latter finishing an awesome sixth behind some World Cup big guns. Nina Hoffman would shrug off the concussion from Leogang and slip into second ahead of Tahnee Seagrave.
