Just Getting Started S02E08 – At Arm’s Length – Champery, Switzerland

Two near-podiums, big crashes, and all heart on one of the steepest tracks of the year.

World Champs always hits different, with athletes showing up ready to prove themselves as the fastest rider on the planet. The latest Just Getting Started episode drops into Champéry with rain and one of the steepest, slickest tracks of the year.

The track quickly showed its teeth: humid, greasy, and relentless from top to bottom.

Lina thrived, riding with her signature aggressive, smooth style, and consistent as always. Crossing the finish line 12.9 seconds into the lead and then storming to fourth in her first-ever Worlds: .08 seconds from a podium.

Gracey found her stride on a new course and also finished fourth—less than three seconds off the win.

Lucas dug deep after two massive crashes left him bruised and sore, pushing through and completing his weekend with a positive attitude and the dedication he’s known for.

For Danny, this weekend was a celebration of his history in Champéry and his legendary 2011 run. Fans packed the tape to see him ride, always excited to watch Danny Hart in action.

No medals, but no shortage of heart this weekend, with two near-podiums, plenty of resilience and drive, and some insane riding. Check the full episode to hear the story. Norco leaves Champéry hungry for the next one, and ready to get back to the World Cup circuit.
