Claudio’s Rampage Course Preview

The 2016 zone features — well, let’s just say it — a terrifying start that only the world’s most skilled big-mountain riders will be able to take on. As Caluori puts it, “There would be no way to get me on a bike up here.”

Instead, he begins his course preview a bit below the start gate, picking up on Antoine Bizet’s line at a point after a particularly harrowing drop that most of the riders will have to navigate, one with sheer descents on either side. He takes us through much of Bizet’s line, pausing at a huge step-down that leads into the lower section of the course.

Looking for another way, Caluori peers over cliffs on a few of the scariest drops on the course, returning to the top to ride the outside ridge on rider’s right all the way to the bottom.
