What a great course! Several of the gnarly features are getting most of the airtime, but there are some absolutely brutal off-camber dirt/grass/root climbs in there. Nasty, but in a very good way, indeed.
That rocky section with tall rocks separating the two lanes after the dropoff looks dangerous. Hope it doesn't cost someone their ride at the olympics. I wonder how some parts can even be ridden if it rains. we'll see...
Perspective changes everything. Saw some insta posts that make those obstacles look pretty daunting and here they look mich more reasonable....in the dry. A wet course though and at the limit there will hopefully not be any very bad crashes 😕
Go on, Charlie. I didn't see any climbs (although I know that wasn't the whole course). Have they stopped including anything that remotely requires cardiovascular fitness in XC these days and just replaced it with obstacles and gimmicks?
THIS is a proper course for a world championship!!!!!
Looking forwards to watching the racing over the weekend. Got a feeling its going to be carnage!!!!!
Wicked! Add to that the weather forecast for the rest of this week 🌧️
About time we saw a decent xco course
What a great course!

Looks awesome!

That is deathly looking.

Nice. Can we watch the entire lap somewhere?
proper
The three lines shouldn’t be separated. Should be one big open line with multiple options, would be way better.
Olé....🚴🇪🇦👌🏻
