Friday’s qualifying round may have been slick and muddy, but timed training at La Bresse World Cup was an entirely different matter. Dry, loose conditions challenged riders to find lines and hold speed down a track that changed personalities several times over its short duration. Wide open corners led into tight trees, then a bike park jump section before throwing steep, technical corners at racers just before the finish.

Of course, everything changed with heavy overnight rain. Racers had to adapt quickly before their qualifying runs, or risk missing out on the final round.

Tune in Saturday, 25 August to see what conditions mother nature deals out as the worlds best downhill racers try win the final World Cup Downhill event of 2018. For start times and how to watch, click here.
