World Cup Downhill Season Begins

The UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup kicks off this weekend in Maribor, Slovenia which will be accompanied by the second round of the 4X. Forecast is wet, but I'm sure that will lead to more exciting racing as it makes things a little more unpredictable.

Here's a few images from last years race to get you in the racing mood.

Last year's winner Fabien Barel unfortunately out with a broken femur.





Peaty punctured during the finals last time around.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and don't forget to watch the racing.
