    I think Rachel Atherton might think differently

    Edit:

    NSFW

    ***Warning strong language***Wow!! Rachel Atherton had a close call in timed training this afternoon. All caught on GoPro of course!

    That video makes me want to get in the car and drive to the Alps.

    Edit: Claudio’s. Not the near miss video.

    I really like these previews! As someone who has no knowledge of downhill race craft I find interesting to see just how big a difference taking various lines can make.

    Not Kermit but he definitely sounds like he’s a Muppets character. Glad I’m not the only one that thinks that.

    Just re-watched the Rach clip and there is a marshall holding a yellow flag just before she gets on to the wood (fnarrr!)

    He sounds like Grover

    Yeah I enjoy the claudio previews. like the way he starts talking abotu ecologists, and then just decides he needs to speed up!

    Is the XC course preview up anywhere? I looked for it but couldnt find it. Always seems to be loads of hype/build up to the DH but nowt for the XC, would be good if they posted a few photos of training at least

    Yep, I am sure I read somewhere it was a pretty technical xc course as well, would like to get a look at it.

    Also remember the normal schedule is reversed this weekend, downhill saturday and xc sunday.

    I love those preview videos! I always watch them if I am up before anyone else on the weekend, Claudio has become a bit of a fave in the house now!

    They need to do THIS at every round I reckon!

    Not with Claudio, and not the whole lap in real time 🙁

    It would be great if they did do the full lap in real time, i do find the shortened previews a bit frustrating

    For some of the A-cycling winter xc series preview videos from the beginning of the year, there was a little graphic on the side that gave you speed and also I think gradient. If they could include something like that as well it would be amazing!

    Always enjoy the course preview, loved his xc preview that Adam@bikeworks posted. Goes to show how fit the xc boys are (never doubted for a second), and seeing a more normal but still very skilled rider on it shows how tough it really is!
