    Just wanna send out healing vibes to DH racers Brook MacDonald and Kate Weatherly. They both sustained spinal cord injuries while practicing in the days leading up to the race. Get well soon guys, we're all thinking about you!

      Brook is still in Quebec for rehab, he is making a lot of progress and started walking and leg pressing again after last week surgeries. Not the best way to enjoy my city :(

    That's my hometown, I was there just a week before the start. I wanted to go to the top on the mountain but the lift wasn't running and we didn't have enough time to hike up. We rented some cross country bikes. One day, I want to see it in person, it's such a big event. I used to ride the original trail along Jean Larose River about 40 years ago while in high school, mountain bikes didn't exist then. I used my road bike. It's come a long way since.

    Saw my first in person major UCI race event this season at Snowshoe World Cup Finals, and had a similar experience. Was so much fun to watch and be out on the course. I think we should call these active spectator events as it trumps sitting in a stadium. Great video, hope to see these events grow in the USA and in general.

    UCI World Championships also predate the UCI World Cup by decades. So the rainbow stripes have much more (road cycling) history behind them.
    Loved the video. Especially the champagne to the face Bruni got from Troy.

    • @DanArnets1492
      @DanArnets1492 5 лет назад

      Yeah, it's cycling's biggest honor. You get to wear the stripes as your main motif for 1 year, then get to use them as a secondary motif forever as long as you don't change disciplines or classes. PFP is the only rider to have ever won 3 rainbow stripes in a 12-month period: she once won MTB XCO (October back then), CX (February) and road (September).

  • @dkphantomdk
    @dkphantomdk 4 года назад

    nono, wrong explanation to why this WChampionship is the most important to win, over the WCup..
    in the WCup you can actually gather points to win it at the end, with out even finishing on a single 1st place..
    Just imagin gathering points from 2nd, all season, and then it is diffrent people who score 1st place points in each race, but of those none of them succed in any good placings in all other WCup races.
    - so you cant be a World Champion if you never won a single race !, this is why WChampionship is more important, because the guy who ends up as No1, is the winner !
    That is just my opinion, I know you will be the best average rider.. but cant be WChampion if you never won a race !
