2022 World Cup Downhill discussion

Geez that Valentina Holl is a sore sour looking loser. I would have thought by now her backers would have given her some advice to act a little more graceful in defeat. She really doesn't seem to be embracing the culture of the women's group. Take Finn as an example; he was close to his first win but got beaten and didn't walk around sulking and ignoring the fanfare.
Was cool to see Rachel Atherton come back to racing and do really well, that was pretty damn classy.

Yeah. Take your evangelism to Companion.

Well moorebags and hambo have Strava covered so its as good a place as any.

Yeah, she really needs to smile more.

That was very cool. I reckon it won't be long until she's back on the podium.

Lotta flat tyres this round.

My brain gets tired just watching the vid. Feck knows how he sees/processes/reacts to everything that goes on at that pace. He really is on another level.

Big respect for Finn Iles being so positive after just missing out on a win at the last run of the day.

Just watched the wynTV Vallnord trackwalk and Bernard Kerr's trackwalk.

Track looks very interesting. Lots of warp speed sections and some questionable drops/scaffold bits.

Race is going to be fkn awesome!

Nope... Not even sure why it was embargoed.

That track is going to be blown the fuck out by race day.

Might just be that Connor and Troy are the only ones with a bit of recent experience with that sort of dirt?

Connor can fairly dominate a berm too. Keen.
