Val Di Sole- Test event
Val di Sole, Italy
Bryn and the rest of the World Cup MTB circuit are over in Italy racing a test event on the Worlds courses. Italy has some beautiful mountains, and from what he told me, the courses are worthy and fairly difficult. The downhill doesn't have a whole lot of turns or pedaling bits, mostly rough and steep in the woods with some big g-outs and a massive ski jump at the end.
Downhill: it is a 3 km long track,the elevation difference is 600 metres, the final and initial parts are on grass. 70% of the track goes through the wood with technical stretches that are completely defined.
4X: a 450 metre track, the elevation difference is 70 metres, 7 corners and a total of 15 jumps, a split line with a pro section and two big double jumps
I will not be at most of the races this year, so Bryn is kinda holding it down for the site in my absence.
