    Ben's idea of "crusing" down the track is a speed that I can only achieve in my imagination.

    Awesome to watch this the day after watching the race live on TV. The track looks so different when you're onboard. Really brings home how tough a world cup track is. Massive congrats to Ben. Great performance, especially given the crash in practice. Looking forward to the next one ;-)

    Yes Ben! 40th is awesome, especially considering you’re pit crew is you and you say you’re not up to race fitness. What could you do if you did have pit crew and were fit as you needed to be? Great video. Love you talking us through it.

  • @jeremyporterfield1611
    @jeremyporterfield1611 2 роки тому

    After listening to this and having followed Cathro for years now and being aware of how gid he is on a bike, I'm gobsmacked by how tough mentally these tracks are to ride at this level and how tough mentally these riders are. It's one thing to ride first if everything goes perfect, but if you're offline or make a mistake, you have to be able to mentally recover and still manage yourself down the rest of the track. Super impressed Cathro - well earned finish!

    That was great, I'm stoked for you Ben getting the chance to race, this is such an insight into the bizarre world of professional dh riding, I mean could any of us viewers imagine doing it as a fulltime job? One minute your as high as a kite and the next minute you're crashed in a heap wondering have you got any fractures. Great entertainment.
