MTB – DHI – World Cup 2023 – 6 MJ – Les Portes du Soleil, France
Downhill pretty much does what it says on the tin: it’s about riding downhill, really fast. It’s raced individually in a time trial format, with riders going against the clock to try to set the fastest time from the top to the bottom of the mountain. It’s arguably the most thrilling and most dangerous mountain bike format, with tightly-taped tracks featuring boulder-strewn rock gardens, huge slippery roots, massive drops and big jumps which all test the riders’ skill, nerve and equipment. Some tracks are longer and slower, and others are short, steep and fast. The shortest tracks last just under three minutes, and the longest are more towards six minutes. The speeds in downhill are really high, with riders often reaching in excess of 70kmph whilst flying down the mountain.
