FINALLY! @maddogboris
His Champery run is so legendary it's hard to believe Danny Hart has gone 5 years without another major win. -Lee Trumpore
Rachel always says that winning doesn't come easy for her and she feels she has to fight hard for her results. This was on full display this weekend as she was bested in qualifying and narrowly edged out a charging Tahnee Seagrave in the finals. -Lee Trumpore
Finn with the flutter daddy this morning in practice. The young shredder is slowly extending his World Cup lead and riding with a much more mature head. -Sven Martin
Gwin, ahead at all splits, lost it in the last reaches of the track. -Sven Martin
Not quite the victor's lunge. Somehow Tahnee knew it may not have been enough. -Duncan Philpott
Elliott Heap has been picking up the pace all year and he's finally backed up a good qualifying result. -Duncan Philpott
Minnaar with the lunge. Another podium for the timeless master. -Sven Martin
Remi Thirion breaking the beam with a manual for a 4th place finish. Bravo Remi! -Dan Hearn
Always a good race when there is a course-side bar near the finish area. Santa Cruz Corner was where it all went down LATE into the night too. -Sven Martin
So rad to see Connor on the podium, keeping flat pedals alive. -Duncan Philpott
Harry Bush was a close shave away from the podium. -Sven Martin
John taking no chances. Every link gets inspected before race run. -Sven Martin
Kenta Gallagher finished 19th today. Consistent after an 18th place qualifier. -Sven Martin
Adam Brayton backed up his wild ride from Ft William with a 12th place today. Less than two seconds from the podium. -Sven Martin
CRC heavies heading up the hill. -Sven Martin
Brendan with a slow start ran a smoker second half of the course to finish 8th today. -Sven Martin
Moments before almost missing shooting a World Cup for the first ever. Let's just say the Swiss are not as neutral as we are led to believe. -Sven Martin
Siegenthaler had a massive crash yesterday in seeding. She put that behind her and sent all the big gaps and drops today straight onto the podium. -Sven Martin
Tracey Hannah had a crash in her race run today leaving her off the podium. -Sven Martin
Live selfie screens for the rider entering the finish arena. -Sven Martin
Ruaridh Cunningham, 9th for his personal best result and he slides into World Champs contention. That makes nine or ten eligible riders now. I wouldn't want to be a selector for Team Great Britain. -Sven Martin
A flat-out race run for Laurie resulted in him being flat out of breath. No hurry for this future dominator. -Duncan Philpott
You may have never heard of him before but Slawomir Lukasik qualified just outside the Top 20 and backed it up with his race run for 23rd place. -Duncan Philpott
Classic, flat-out, big compressions and Aaron Gwin storming down the track. -Duncan Philpott
Gaetan Vage wraps up another podium and gets to jump on the steps again later in the day with the team overall. -Duncan Philpott
Brannigan wins points for the most visually exciting run. -Duncan Philpott
It should be good to see times tighten across this podium as the season rolls on -Duncan Philpott
WD-40 is slicker down Lenzerheide than Red Bull it seems. Suspension guru, Tim Flooks in audio. -Duncan Philpott
A successful return to racing for Pompon! -Duncan Philpott
6th in Ft. William and 7th in Lenzerheide, it's only a matter of time before Luca Shaw steps onto the podium. Cheers! -Lee Trumpore
Stealthed out in #longlivechainsaw remembrance kit, Dean Lucas pinned it straight to 14th place. -Duncan Philpott
Duncan with his limited edition Bergamont contact lenses. -Sven Martin
#viralmarketing -Duncan Philpott
Swiss timing in Switzerland. -Duncan Philpott
Red and orange flat out to the line. Gwin was fastest at every split but lost it in the last corner by his reckoning. -Duncan Philpott
The Steel City cam has its own unique way of breaking the ice. -Duncan Philpott
One of the many reasons Why I freaking love World Cup racing! A couple of after race beers with the boys. #goodtimes @maddogboris
Needles likes to throw a leg to entertain us media guys. @maddogboris
Troy getting lower than everyone else this morning below blue skies. Rain last night helped with grip although the track became more loose and dusty as the day progressed. -Dan Hearn
Swiss junior Janis Lehmann crashed on course and rolled over the line with tape streaming from his ankles. -Dan Hearn
Gee struggled to get to grips with the loose track, and kept it too steady in finals. He finished 14th, just 3.2 seconds off the podium. Times were tight between the top guys. -Dan Hearn
Finish line elation for Danny Hart. This one was a long time in the making. -Dan Hearn
After Tahnée's storming quali run, Rachel stepped her game up for finals to take the win by less than a second. It's exciting to see some strong competition for Rachel in the Women's field. -Dan Hearn
Danny Hart being initiated into the World Cup winner's group while Gwin still struggles with those champagne bottles. -Dan Hearn
11 wins in a row. -Lee Trumpore
If injury has slowed Myriam Nicole, it sure wasn't evident in Lenzerheide. 3rd place in her first World Cup of the season. -Lee Trumpore
If nature called in the woods and Duncan didn't end up with 10 stitches in his toe, he'd probably be wearing his shoes while chimping. #prayfordunc
Brendog was stoked about his 8th place today. @maddogboris
First place Finn flying freely. -Duncan Philpott
Taking every preventative measure to ensure a full recovery! Loic's back at MSA. -Duncan Philpott
There is no greater competitor or gentleman in the sport than Greg Minnaar. Gracious in defeat and stoked to see Danny take a long overdue win. -Lee Trumpore
Greg Minnaar gets the celebration underway. -Lee Trumpore
Please allow 10-30 minutes for your video to be processed. You will receive an email when your video is finished processing.
A happy winning team of the day. Commencal Riding Addiction. -Sven Martin
Not bad! -Duncan Philpott
Winning never gets old. -Duncan Philpott
2nd place on the day, but Aaron Gwin padded his lead in the World Cup overall with only two rounds to go. -Lee Trumpore
Stepping into the bright Swiss sun. Danny Hart must have been dreaming about this moment. -Duncan Philpott
