Replay the racing, watch the winning runs and read the race report from Vallnord, as its vertical course tested the nerve of the world’s elite this weekend. The steepest track of the year had already claimed a number of big names by the time finals came around.
The steepest track of the season was creating huge gaps in the Elite Women’s field, with a number falling victim to its unruly terrain. Italy’s Eleonora Farina managed a long stint in the hotseat, pulling together a strong run that saw off competition from most of the top 10.
Tahnée Seagrave cranked out of the start hut with grit and determination. No doubt Rachel Atherton’s incredible qualifying time (nearly 14 seconds faster than that of Seagrave’s time) added pressure to deliver a fast and perfect run.
Starting outside the top 25 riders seemed to have a beneficial effect for Finn Iles in Vallnord. The Canadian hadn’t yet put in a final run that matched his qualifying performances, but here the youngster took the bull by the horns to sit in the hotseat, with a scorching time that was faster than that of Luca Shaw’s winning qualifying time the day before.
Loris Vergier took to the track. Starting eighth-from-last, Vergier took some creative lines down the course compared to what’d previously been seen, remaining smooth throughout.
At each split he was making second upon second on Iles, and he came in at the finish a big 4.5 seconds faster than the Canadian. Like Bruni, Vergier was riding with a hand injury that he sustained in qualifying.

Aren't French racers supposed to be 'appy and not stoked??? 😉 Loris is stoked, as am I and most people that follow WC DH…he's still young, but he's definitely paid his dues to get to this point. Congrats!!

HELL YEAAAA LORIS. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG these guys are going SOOOOO FAST!! Great edit!!
why are none of them wearing neck protectors any more? not only dose it protects the spine but the tendons in the neck which can take months and months to heal properly when torn and damaged and sometimes they wont heal properly with out surgery. I dont get it, you hardly know you got the thing on. Kids are going to watch them and decide not to wear theres or not buy one in the beginning cuz the pros dont any more?
whats the song?
