MTB – DHI – World Cup 2024 ME – 6 – Loudenvielle – Peyragudes, 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.
Loudenvielle – Peyragudes is the main village in the Louron Valley, in the heart of the French Pyrenees. With its lake, summits, trails and ski resorts, this valley remains an exceptional outdoor playground for every season of the year. With more than 500 km of trails, several downhill tracks, pump tracks and skills areas for kids, mountain biking is now a big part of the identity of the valley and secures Loudenvielle – Peyragudes position as the top riding spot in the French Pyrenees, that can be ridden all year round.
