The rain (mostly) stayed away and hot damn, La Thuile delivered one of the best downhill tracks for an opening venue in quite some time.
Elite Women
Could the Elite Women go sub-4 minutes? Would it rain? Would Gracey Hemstreet take yet another win? Would Val be back on top? It was anyone’s race.
Elite Men
Q1 or Q2, everyone that qualified was going flat out and it showed. Plenty of crashes and gutsy runs on a track that gave so much.
