"a nail-biting final run from Danny Hart"
Snowshoe, USA, September 2019 - a location and date that has secured its place into the mountain biking hall-of-fame. As defending 2018 UCI World Cup overall champion, Amaury Pierron, stepped into the start gate, he had to put down a ground-shaking run to secure the 2019 title. However, with 1222 points to his name, he needed fellow Frenchman Loic Bruni and current leader (1312 points) to finish outside the top 3.
After crashing out in qualifying (luckily, qualifying at this final round carried no series points), Amaury Pierron set off much earlier in the pack than his rival for the series win. And it was a trademark Pierron ride, blindingly fast and bordering on the impossible. Amaury attacked and attacked some more, hitting turns with both wheels drifting and launching fully committed into the dangerous rocks. It was a huge run that looked unfathomably fast; could anyone decode it? The wait in the hot seat for Pierron would be long and tantalising.
It was then time for Loïc Bruni to bite the bullet. Superbruni took to the course with enormous pressure on this last ride of the summer. Bruni rode the wheels off it. With the incredible performances of Pierron and Harrison before him, he had to. Assuming Pierron would take the win, Bruni needed to finish no worse than third to confirm his first-ever series title.
As he crossed the finish line, Bruni looked on in disbelief. He was sitting third and there was still one very fast man to go. If Danny Hart, who had blitzed qualifying, finished between him and Pierron, the title would be Pierron’s. Nobody could have predicted what happened next.
Hart has had a consistent run of results in 2019, finishing on the podium in all but one of the World Cup races before Snowshoe. But, despite qualifying first at Round 6 in Lenzerheide and also at the World Championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne, he had never found the speed to beat the field in finals. As Hart placed sixth for times at splits one and two, it appeared today wouldn’t be his day either. Sixth would mean the series was Bruni’s.
But suddenly Hart was up into second place at split three. This spelt disaster for Bruni, who now stood ready to congratulate his friend Pierron on taking the series at the last minute, literally. Hart was nearly a second slower than Pierron and looked set to equal his season-best second place from Round 1 in Maribor.
However, as soon as Bruni had seen it slip away, it was unexpectedly back in his grasp. Hart pulled a miracle and went fastest at split four by a slim 0.7 seconds. If he won, the points from second place wouldn’t be enough for Pierron to leapfrog Bruni in the overall standings. The wait was excruciating, and to make it worse Hart went through the speed trap at 54kph, a full 3kph slower than Pierron at this crucial moment before speeding towards the finish line.

Downhill MTB should be added to the olympics.
The world couldn't handle the excitement...Soccer fans would have cardiac arrest the world over! 🙃
Hardtail, the bike does 90 percent of the work.
Olympics are garbage
svnbit you could say that for all Motorsport and even non motorized sport (bobsled, etc). Incorrect.
@@willsee7452 they can ride hardtail too
Doesn't matter how many times I see this replay, I'll always get chills
it really was the best ending i've ever seen
was about to post the same thing, heart pumping all the way through it even though i've watched it loads
I have watched it on 3 different occasions and always feel the same rush when he comes from behind in the final sectors. Amazing
When Danny sees both Loic and Pierron hitting NOS. He's like ... too soon..
this comment should have way more likes man! :D
junior
Ya fr man
Rob Warner has to be one of the greatest sport commentators of all time!
LOOK AT THE TIME!
That’s until you hear Claudio he cracks me up every time he gets excited
Rob can get you excited. Wait, wut???
Loic,you owe Danny as much beer as he can drink🍺🍻🥂🍾
This is the first time I've ever seen a downhill mountain bike race and wow it was amazing. The commentators just did such a good job of breaking it down so even casual Watchers or people like me who watch this for their first time could understand it. Awesome! Time to go buy one and learn a new sport myself :-)
The last 10 seconds were unbelievable watching live.. the pendulum swung every direction
I'll agree that was a dramatic and crazy race that I really enjoyed watching but, maybe it's just me.. but was kinda cheap the camera man just ran passed Danny having just the win the race and the focus was all on Loic. I get it but still. Props to Danny for the insane run
Simple. Not Danny's first win. And won't be his most memorable performance since he'll likely never top a run he did in 2011. Loic's first overall. He gets the shine. And deservedly so. But we all know Loic owes Danny more than one beer after that event...
@@TeddyParker could at least have hung around until danny put his arm in the air
There's probably multiple camera men and they are also not the one's that decide which camera gets screen time.
Yeah, it's the producer that decides which camera to view. And you could almost tell who the producer was a fan of!
My opinion - you can't ignore the race winner ffs!
They did not ignore Danny. This is just a fast recap. I saw it live and there were also shots of Danny at the bottom cruising around with a british flag on his back, while commentators praised his run and his legacy. Very NICE racing season what so ever!!
I need those announcers on every sporting event I watch
I'll NEVER get fed up with watching this ! So emotive ! Have to say Rob's commentary completes and compliments the story . I'm sure I speak for everyone right now in saying how much this years championship is being missed.
I like Danny's professionalism.
TWO WHEEL DRIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFTTTTTT
I'll never forget this race, better than Game of Thrones haha.
Saw that battle probably 3 or 4 times now and I get goosebumps every time I watch it🤘🏼
I know all the attention is on bruni and hart and rightly so. But let's just take a moment to realise how great of a commentator warner is.
Claudio is brilliant though with the way he gets excited
I'm super bummed I wasn't a MTB fan when Sam Hill was at his peak and when Danny broke through in 2011, but I'm so glad to have been around to watch 2019's story unfold. Yet another moment in this sports history that fans will want to watch back over and over.
this race in a only one word... EPIC!!
These riders are at another level
Tell me something I don’t know
I'd watch any sport that had dh commentators. You can't help but have a huge grin from these guys!
Amaury was really a great sport to congratulate Loic as he is clearly holding back tears. That is a podium full of champions
Such a great event at Snow Shoe; such an amazing set of races across all of the mtb disciplines.
This is crazy to watch, my last season in dh was in 05, things have come on massively since then! Awesome watch!!!
Every time I see this Im always amazed
Out of all of Red Bull's videos, bike ones are always among my favorites. Nice compilation!
Nice!!!!! Congrats to the winners. These guys are def pushing the sport forward!!!!!! Liking forward to next season. #moreracesplease
I've been watching sports for 30+ yrs and i would put this up as the best ever season finale alongside Arsenal winning the league in 89 (i'm an Arsenal fan from the UK) insane riding all season. Lets hope 2021? makes up for lost time. Miss this sport so much.
Heartbraking but the sportsmanship is still there
Craziest race i have ever seen! So Intense!
These guys are great athletes!
Danny Hart won the race with perfect line choice and skill in the last two rock gardens, his body barely moves compared to Bruni and Pierron in those sections, this race was an instant classic!!!!!
Legend says, they only use their brakes once. After passing the finish line.
Amazing racing, fantastic write up as well!
Crazy race i wish there were more races like this in US. Id love to start racing dh
This race was in the US!
There’s probably more in US than anywhere else
@@James-yy4vl there are plenty of parks and trails yes but racewise, snowshoe is the only one
Edit: at the top level that is
Pierron the uncrowned king
I know the result and my heart is still beating. That had to go down as one of the best would cup races of all time
Such an awesome moment
now THAT is quality entertainment
Such a great race and venue.
Graphics are on point...
I want Danny Hart to win the overall this season if it even happens
Nah not gonna happen i think
Didn’t happen
What a shame fricking covid
@@ioandavies6343 it's unfortunate, I've also heard Danny talk about retiring in some videos which I guess I can understand because he has a child now. I'll miss him when he retires, he's always been the best in corners imo and we can't forget about his 2011 world champs run, he's a legend.
@@wumbobo true he the best in the wet as well
Epic. Truly Epic
So...how and who can (26) dislike it???🤔
Adrenalina pura!!!
What a thriller!
I’ll never forget Sam Hill at champery and Val di sole...!
Downhill is a hell of a sport.
Titles for these videos rarely live up to the hype - this one is an exception!!! What a great finish 🤙
Epic 😁
imo pierron is the most spectacular rider of the current crop, just manic
Claudio talking
Rob: 2 SECOND UP
This is insane.
This was so intense and stressful.
Very nice
Very Nice vidéo 👍🏼
Greatest race ever
Danny hart are the best!!!
Dang that was sweet
This is insane...
Bruni is always super!
Danny said he had no idea what was going on at the bottom when he set off for his run here. He was just racing as fast as he could with no bias towards any rider.
Saw this run live on RedBull TV... Was breathless 'till the end !!!
Cocorico ! 🐓🇫🇷🐸
PRO...
And that is why these bikes are over 10k. I see loads of people out there on these sorts of bikes just pottering down fire tracks, not even understanding what their bike is really capable of .
Waooo such a battle
Aguenta ❤️👏👏👏👏👊🏽🇧🇷
Wow, they make it look easy. Great run fellas.
We are the best 🇫🇷👑🇫🇷👑
The Cameraman should've spent a little more time on Danny at the Finish Line.
Feels like I'm listening to the guy from Look Mum No Computer lol
Pierron is ridiculous. I wanna see a close race with him, Bruni and Gwin
It would be cool to watch the current rider go down while seeing a ghost overlay of the top rider play as a comparison each time.
Mantep sekali secepat kilat
this is so ballsy god damn!
That’s Weekend was so fun
I was there!
Yeah 1
West Virginia!
What a way to
end the season🤟🏽
Show 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
This guy is cooking.
HART what a dead set legend!
Full send, love it
Wowwwwww
Those people that disliked it are for sure skateboarders! You don’t have ball to ride this kinda stuff!
so sad they postponed 2020 DH season!
That was straight balls out!
1:18 WTF, the dude smashed the rock garden like it was nothing
R.I.P Formel 1
I remember that voice. He like talking while riding in the hell road..
ya think when gravity was being invented, anyone at the meeting thought we would use it this way? makes you think
1.40 Pierron's foot comes off and at 1.49 he manages to get clipped back in. Definitely cost him the 0.6 he lost by.
Nice one Danny your a star :)
wow
Pierron looked so fast ! I can't understand how he didn't win 😮
1:38 hats down...
FWIW: Danny finished 4th in the overall standings in 2019.
naughty red bull
Bkn
Claudio is camp as christmas.
WHAT ?!!??!!!!
"...laws or whatever you call them in English" lol
