Lourdes World Cup – Qualifying Highlights

“While there are some technical and steep sections on the hill here in Lourdes there are also a lot of lightning quick lines and heart-stopping drops. Get up to speed on what went down in the player below.”

“Not everyone got away clean in yesterday’s qualifying session, with former World Cup Champions Gee Atherton and Aaron Gwin together with fans favourite Eliot Jackson taking hard knocks.

The atmosphere trackside and in the grandstand was electric with more people in attendance than we often see during the finals at some other venues. As we write it’s only 8:45am and yet spectators are already making their way up the hill.

This could be one of the wildest opening rounds of a World Cup in years.”
