Leogang Practice Highlights

Photos Bartek Woliński

Following the biblical rainstorm that hit Leogang on Thursday afternoon, the World Cup track was in surprisingly good condition come Friday morning’s practice session.

Under a blazing hot sun the world’s finest went to work on the newly modified track – a track that was to throw up a few surprises. Our resident World Cup filmmakers were joined by photographer Bartek Woliński to bring you all the action.

US Junior Chris Harrison. And the most scenic start gate on the circuit. Any circuit.

Rachel will be looking to hold off Manon Carpenter and co. and hang on to the #1 plate.

Stevie Smith might have benefited from a few extra weeks’ practice and racing after Ft. William. Here’s hoping he’s coming back to form quickly. We can’t wait for the next massacre.

Again with the incredible scenery. It’s enough to make you forget the rider cruising into one of the several tunnels on course.

 


Leaguing is looking a lot better than in past years. Who’s waking up early? We sure will be.
