That was an epic one. So exciting! Really good seeing Gwin back up in the mix, and Bernard is getting mighty close to a big result soon, it seems. At least, I hope he is.
But that save from Finn, that was ludicrous!
Has Bernard ever been on a world cup podium ? it would be great to see him up there

Jackson & Jordan would have finished 1st & 3rd in Elites - appreciate the track had changed vastly before those top Elites went down, but those 2 lads are fast!!

Yeah, yeah, good race, very exciting, LOOK AT THE TIME, etc.
More importantly though: is the Elite Men's podium the first all-tasche podium?
(Bruni is borderline I grant you)
