Vigo, Spain World Cup #1 Downhill Results
Sunday, May 13th, 2007
Crazyness ensued on the 2007 downhill course and weather played a big factor. Reports of hail during Beytgah’s run as well as Riffle going down for a considerable amount of time. Marc Beaumont won it for the men and Sabrina Jonnier smoked the field by over 7 seconds on the womens DH.
“The winds got so strong they blew over the monstrous Mongoose tent during the night. It is anchored in with 2ft rebar into the asphalt.” Transcend-Magazine (see ride-central for picture of these huge tents)
