Big effort, big win. Well done overall Rich. Fantastic course set up. Riding with Sam and the other riders during practice must have been fun.

Crazy riding. I've watched this race on a lot of different YouTube channels and saw a lot of wrecks, but the main commonality was everyone talking about how crazy slippery the track was. Those flat banks at weird angles certainly didn't help anything either. Just next level crazy riding.

[Desmond]

Fantastic work Rich, you absolute madlad !!
That was an amazing race, and the city looks absolutely breathtaking 🤩

[stefff]

I really enjoyed that video! This location plus riding bikes it‘s such a vibe… I hope they run it again next year! 🙏🔥

[kevinoriol]

Beautifully shot and edited! Great music and narration as well. Cheers!

Really appriciate the static cam shots. Gives a better perspective on the risks taken of this type of riding.
