Not only is Troy Brosnan little, his bike is little too - 35,87lbs to be precise. Jacy on his best behavior for the internet police. Photo by Gary Perkin

It was great seeing the local crowds come out today. Aaron's win made it special for them as the Star Spangled Banner was played during the mens podium. -Sven Martin

Peaty took more than one plunge today. Just because he's the oldest competitor here today doesn't mean he can't celebrate his 2nd place in style. Photo by Gary Perkin

Luke Strobel had two final runs today, along with Josh Bryceland, after Romain Paulhan crashed and officials brought out the red flags! Strobel just came out faster and got 15th place! Photo by Gary Perkin

Ratboy, holding on for 13th. Josh got red flagged and had to go up for a re-run, if ever there was a day when Josh needed to do only one final run today was it. -Sven Martin

Brook the bulldog Macdonald and another podium. Whoever has him on their fantasy league team must be stoked right now. Will he be even deadlier when we see him next on the Evil carbon Undead? Labresse is 3 weeks away for the answer. -Sven Martin

This is the tender that gets stuff done in the pits. Sven and I both got our SRAM parts tweaked by Jon, Evan, Bryan and Shaun this weekend, so a patriotic reward was the least we could do. Photo by Gary Perkin

Some fans were so eager to get a prime spot for the racing that they came in early and pitched tents. Or maybe this is Ralph Jones is reliving his recent Glastonbury Festival memories! Photo by Gary Perkin

Florian is easily the best women's jumper on the World Cup circuit right now. She is also pretty dang fast. She closed the gap on Rachel on the last section and finished second today, narrowing the overall points gap between her and Tracy. -Sven Martin

Alex Rankin is enjoying being back on the circuit. He has a unique steady-cam technique. The riders can thank him for using wheel destroying rocks that make their way in to the ruts. Chris Ball in audio. -Sven Martin

America's future in downhill looks good with junior riders like Austin Warren (23rd) and Neko Mulally (27th). Good job boys, and on American soil too. -Sven Martin

Lapierre's Bruni Loic was another fast junior rider only two seconds behind Troy Brosnan. Bruni is still a first-year junior and had an awesome finish for 14th today. Merci. (Photonerd Note - John Parkin FAIL for no lens hood, farmer's tan with vest, and filming with sunglasses) -Sven Martin

Peaty and Needles both stoked and deserving of their second and third place rides today. These guys earned their spots in a true downhill battle not plagued by weather or mechanicals. -Sven Martin

52 podiums for Peaty now and a good ride for second today. He will be pumped going into Labresse. Good job on giving the kids a spanking. Won't Back Down! All this with a broken wrist too, let's not forget. -Sven Martin
