La Bresse, France hosts the seventh and final round of World Cup racing this weekend and, once again, downhill and cross country events combine for a full weekend of racing.

Racers across categories will have their last chance at World Cup glory for the 2018 season, as only world championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland remain after La Bresse. It’s also the last chance to gather points for the series overall titles, which will be awarded this wekened in France.

The mix of gravity and cross country World Cup events makes for a busy weekend, with Friday’s short track cross country overlapping with downhill qualifying, then downhill finals on Saturday and Olympic distance cross country races on Sunday.

Live and On-Demand coverage of the World Cup series continues through Red Bull TV, which you can stream on your computer, mobile device through the RedBullTV mobile app or, if you have an AppleTV type device, watch on your TV.

Only the Elite races make it to live coverage, but that still leaves you with Men’s and Women’s short track and Olympic distance cross country as well as Saturday’s Men’s and Women’s downhill World Cup. Watch all the events from World Cup finals in La Bresse, France HERE.
