Update from france
Willingen then…
Pretty cool event with their big Bike-festival so lots of people and one hell of a price-purse.
Only thing is that the track is machine-built top to bottom and is more like a big bmx-track then a proper dh.
Still it`s real fun to ride it and i enjoyed practice but i had a hard time to race it.
Unfortunatly Remi got blown of on the last jump on friday-practice and hurt his foot bad enough not to be able to race. Looks like he will be back for Leogang anyway.
My qualifying went shiet and i was sitting in 25th place after that (40 riders sent through to the final).
Felt a bit better on sunday and my run went allright, no real mistakes just felt like i was to slow and didn't pedal enough on the top.
I got in as 2nd place don`t know what i finished but somewhere around 20th. Didn't bother to check either since it didn't mather at all for this race if you weren't in the top 5.
Even though everyone knew it was going to be a tight race i was amazed how tight the times were from me to first it was just 7 seconds.
Aron Gwin won with Minaar 2nd & Neethling in 3rd…
Today i just did a 2 hour roadside around Remis place then we might hit up the downhill a bit tomorrow before we leave for Leogang.
My hands are pretty good now so i look forward to have a good weekend!!
Peace.
