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

Has Bernard ever been on a world cup podium

Nope. 5th twice is the closest

Elite Men

1st. Loris Vergier: 2:44.500
2nd. Loic Bruni: 2:45.918
3rd. Finn Iles: 2:46.197
4th. Aaron Gwin: 2:46.913
5th. Andreas Kolb: 2:47.519

Junior Men

1st. Jackson Goldstone: 2:43.420
2nd. Jordan Williams: 2:45.106
3rd. Tegan Cruz: 2:48.190
4th. Bodhi Kuhn: 2:48.843
5th. Tristan Lemire: 2:49.487

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!!

Wow, just wow!

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)
