Asa for the win! This track always seems to produce good racing, I'm sure Giant factory racing is a big fan. Boladou besting Vali in the wind was something, it looked possibly more windy for Boladous run. My big questions are, did Boladou have a dip in during her winners interview? Did Williams point at Asa when he came across the line or one of his coaches?

Ha, yeah you think the interviewer would tell her she had mud in her teeth before going live. Jordan mentioned in the post-race show that he was indeed pointing at Asa.

Probably unpopular opinion, but I think this placid course is a better track to watch than whistler was. Think it’s because the trees are more open at the top you see more track per camera shot and also as it’s not as steep it allows riders more opportunities to pull for gaps

I really like the track, that top woods section is one of my favorites to watch on any track all year. I do think it could be improved with 1 more tech section in that bottom little woods instead of that being more highspeed rollers/berms. Some of the grass corners on the piste are also fun.  watching the best riders on those sweeping flat or off camber corners is always sick.

Pretty sure it was mentioned that Lisa B. hangs with Pompon.

Mud makes more sense, I legit thought she packed her lip with a chaw at first doing it American style. Good on her, nice to see another first time winner in the women's category this year.

I'm sure both Jordan and Asa had a time waiting for the results to come in.

feel bad for LMS maybe not getting the credit he deserves for putting well over a second into 2nd on a track that has many riders apart by only a tenth. 

like you have to go to... 9th place from 2nd? to get the same time gap LMS put on 2nd.

nearly the same gap from 2nd to 10th. as he put from 1st to 2nd. damn 

Cheers mate, I gave him a high five for ya 😉🤙
