I was speechless watching his run. It was easily one of the best £15 i have spent to get to watch it live. Warner and pagey did a cracking job.
THAT WHIP!
Speechless 😯 😯 😯
well done Jedi.
Not bad...
Haha! Had to switch off the sound as Rob Warner's commentary is a bit too much for this time in the morning.
Amazing ride.
Fantastic run, well deserved!

haha have you seen his headcam run down the track? So funny. "hanging off the back of this bitch" 😆
Fantastic riding! Well done sir.
he was jus so smooth! perfect run! well done kid, and from my native north east too 🙂
what a run! 😆 can't beat a bit of DH with warner commentary to wake you up in the morning
Agree, Rob Warner's a little frantic for a Monday morning.
Great ride by the lad though - I thought he'd over done it on the tail whip at the end.
Nice one Jedi!!
To quote the commentator that was [b]A M A Z I N G !![/b]
He really flies and stylish with it too. We are not worthy!
great run, but that bloody commentator!
Holy tailwhips!!!
Did he win it then? (please say yes.. Just in from nightshift!)

aye.
Thanks for posting, a stunning run there. Must go watch the full reply.
aye.
Let's not unsell it - he didn't just win, he beat every other rider on the planet by 11.6 seconds!
To quote the legend 'With balls that big i'm surprised he can sit down'
Yep, amazing.
Best. Run. Ever.
Just amazing to watch.
Amazing to watch.
Cringing to listen to.
First time I saw him ride, I thought "Wa!? How young?!", now this! Brilliant.
Feel sorry for those mountain bikers who think downhill is boring to watch.

Presumably these are ones who've never ridden mountain bikes?
His reaction as he crosses the line is brilliant. What a day to produce a run like that.

Seems to be a fair few on STW!
Smashed it, the lad is a legend already.
As other have said THAT WHIP!!!!
And Rob's commentary is wicked, 'loony cant' an all that!!!
Let's not unsell it - he didn't just win, he beat every other rider on the planet by 11.6 seconds!
Almost! Brosnan managed to be within 10 seconds! Wish they'd have shown the juniors runs too... Would have been interesting to how different/not different the track was running when they came down also.
Amazing! He's so much fun to watch. The whole run was 100% balls out skill and pulling a whip in those conditions in the World Champs was one of the coolest things ever. Well done Danny!
Watched it live, you had to see how difficult the other riders made it seem, in comparison.
Danny looked like he was on his local run, having a blast.
Amazing, that final section was just stunning, proper jaw dropping riding. To beat the field by that margin, unbelievable!
better quality here
arrgh! TAILwhips are impossible on DH bikes, so stop calling them that!
This is a tailwhip:

Moto-Whips are very possible. See above for demo !!
I didn't say moto whips were impossible, I said tail whips are. Very very very different
Phenomenal.
Best ride this year by ANY British cyclist in any discipline !!
Brosnan may have been within 10 seconds but that was in the relative dry/tacky conditions not the sopping wet ones the senior men and women came down in. Fair play to spagnolo too great run but would have been beaten by Blenki if he hadn't had a couple of silly stalls. Blenki didn't look at all impressed on the 3rd step of the podium
LOOK AT THE WHIP
Love it
Well done Danny
Radness Unlimited!
I read on another forum that someone who was there said the conditions for Troys run were actually not that different, and in fact conditions may have even been better later on as more water on the track would have made it less greasy.
Textbook, and an amazing whip to finish 😀
😯 Brilliant stuff, a run truly deserving of the World Champion title, love the showboating (did he take a hand off to wave to people as he was coming down?? 😯 8) )
Of course, that's exactly how I ride all the time (in my head 😳 😆 )...
