We dedicate this MSA finals slideshow to Monk Dawg. Rest in peace.

Your Elite Women's 2016 UCI World Cup DH Series Champion, Rachel Atherton. She can sit and watch Andorra unfold from the sidelines and the title will still be hers...but I doubt she will do that. -Sven Martin

Rachel Atherton tucking into another 10-second + margin. Her win streak continues and she's one away from a perfect season. -Sven Martin

It just took that one win to get the momentum rolling, although winning at Mt St Anne is never easy. Danny, 2 for 2. -Sven Martin

Danny Hart's speed couldn't be faulted at any point of the track. -Duncan Philpott

Flying Finn pipped at the post only 0.03 off the win. -Sven Martin

Aaron Gwin had a tough start to the day with a big crash, hurting his arm a little and prohibiting a second run to feel the track changes. 2nd place by just .66 is not too bad, all things considered. -Sven Martin

Tracey Hannah battered and bruised but still fought hard for 2nd place. Tougher than most of the guys, here she is. -Sven Martin

It's black eye Saturday as per usual here in MSA. -Sven Martin

Gaetan Vige picks up his second win of the season with the slimmest of margins, just 0.03 ahead of Finn Iles! -Duncan Philpott

New gum sole shoes for Loic and he is back on track. -Sven Martin

Loic Bruni keeping it fast and low to the line. What a return with 3rd place! -Duncan Philpott

The crowd watches on as Tahnee sends it to 3rd place -Duncan Philpott

It was a minor miracle Elliott Heap could hold on to his bike today. 3rd place was a solid result! -Duncan Philpott

Delete, Format, Fail. #rookies -Sven Martin

Red on the timing board for Troy Brosnan was not what he wanted to see, but it wasn't unexpected for him after he heard the crowd reponse to Loic on his lift up ride up. -Duncan Philpott

Sunflare supernova and flags for first-time podium rider Luca Shaw. -Duncan Philpott

Yes! Luca! Cracking his first podium just a hop, skip and a jump away from his home country. Two Americans on the podium. The last time this happened was in Cairns 2014. -Sven Martin

Luca putting the run down for the family here in MSA! -Duncan Philpott

Miranda Miller becoming a regular on the podiums now. Hopefully we will be able to see a full season of her racing next year. -Sven Martin

Brendan had a big crash in practice hurting his knee, but soldiered on today to 12th place. -Sven Martin

It was tight between 3rd and 5th place with Manon Carpenter slotting into 4th place. 0.1 seconds faster and she would have beaten Tahnee. -Duncan Philpott

Connor Fearon 15th today but 5th in the overall. It's going to be a tight battle come Andorra. -Sven Martin

Stevie is still everywhere. -Sven Martin

Brook looked deadly all practice and destined for the podium. With arguably the wildest run, he was close, less than 3 seconds off. -Sven Martin

Florent Payet often flies under the radar but is very capable of delivering Top 10 results like this weekend. -Duncan Philpott

Everybody's favorite commentators sweating it out in the hot box during the race. -Sven Martin

Morgane Charre into the finish area. She would have liked it to continue raining all morning, but it ended up being a perfect day for racing. -Sven Martin

Brendog stalker cam.

Greg Minnaar was gapping up quite a few sections of trail in practice. He was the man that decided whether Luca was guaranteed a podium or not which was rather apt given his mentorship with the young racer. -Duncan Philpott

Magnus Manson managed his best World Cup finish of 4th place in the Junior field. -Duncan Philpott

Troy Brosnan took it from 12th at the first split to 4th at the line. -Duncan Philpott

Just moments after this photo, Brannigan punctures and has an extremely wild ride to the finish. Luckily for him he held on to 7th place. -Duncan Philpott

Trek Atherton racing by the numbers. -Sven Martin

Blenki kept on hopping and pumping his way down the track to his best result this season. 8th place today. -Duncan Philpott

Ratboy may not have featured strongly in the results but he still won the crowd's hearts with his style -Duncan Philpott

Miranda Miller scores her second podium of the year, delivering for the Canadian crowd. -Duncan Philpott

Marcelo slotting into 16th in his race back after injury. Always a tough track to come back on with weaker-than-normal shoulders. The rest of the season should be easier from here on out. -Sven Martin

Mark Wallace knows how to lay it over like a boss. Sideways sliding off the drop to the line. -Sven Martin

7th place, backing up her quali result for first-year Junior Georgia Astle. -Duncan Philpott

Gwin ices his arm after his practice mishap. Did this hold him back in finals? -Duncan Philpott

There was a big crowd at MSA this year and the finish arena was packed for the last few riders! -Duncan Philpott

The heavy rain from the night before was still clearing for the first practice runs. -Duncan Philpott

It's different racing outside of Europe. No team trucks to slip into for a bit of quite time between practice and race. -Sven Martin

The dirt after the rain was primo! -Duncan Philpott

Aaron Gwin could have cleaned up the series here had he won. As it stands, depending on qualifying results in Andorra, Gwin will need to place somewhere around Top 60 to take the title. -Sven Martin

One to go for a perfect season and one to go for a World Champs. Rachel is on fire. -Duncan Philpott

The name of this file is "LopesTeam.jpg" So long from Mont Sainte Anne with only one World Cup left in 2016. -photo by Annie Leibovitz

The most brutal track of the season reveals Rachel Atherton a World Cup Champion and Danny Hart wins his second World Cup win in back-to-back first place performances. 2016's sixth World Cup DH race is in the history books and we won't have World Cup DH racing for another month, so go deep with rider interviews and banging photos thanks to Sven Martin, Duncan Philpott and @maddogboris.
