It’s safe to say the track in Les Gets has been a test for some. Plenty of lines, some wild sections. It’s got the thumbs up and is being compared to downhill tracks of the past. Check with Eliot Jackson as he takes us through practice. Race day is tomorrow. Check out the practice highlights to get warmed up!
Roll out the quotes, there’s a lot to be said about the new Les Gets Downhill track. This is proper DH! Many riders are feeling old skool Downhill ooze from the French loam and feel refreshed at the feeling of a very different race setup. Others, see the sketchy roots, big features and long course as a daunting task. Eliot Jackson is on the ground at the second Downhill race of 2021 to get the scoop on how this track shapes up differently to anything the riders have seen in recent years.
