Description
The drama of the altered track was soon forgotten as the sun came out and the ruts developed at the Leogang World Cup DH. Timed training took place today at the end of practice with Troy Brosnan, Tracey Hannah and Gaetan Vige going quickest. With rain in the forecast, the nerves are high, but that didn't slow down the shredding today. Sven, Duncan and @maddogboris drop the goods in fine fashion.
