Back in Europe and landed in Lyon for a mega avalanche cup race we did before the big number two world cup, La Bresse.

The track in Lyon was really different it was not really a dh track moor a fire road though a town park. It was quite fun though with some jumps and some fun turns.  We rode our demo 8’s The track was not really suited to these bikes more a hard tail but we were just there for fun and to get some more time on our new bikes.

The big bikes were hard to pedal around on the top flat stuff but they went ok at the bottom where the track was a bit steeper. We raced and I got 7th which I was pretty happy with considering all the pedalling and the rest of the pack on hard tails.

My 7th got me though in the next round I guess which was a 4x race down the same track but with some slight alterations.  I was in the gate for my first round taking it all as a big of a laugh. I struggled out the gate straight in to 4th,  that was no good so I decided to push my way though and managed to get in to 2nd which boosted me though in the next round. I managed to keep doing this each round, finding my was past people in whatever way possible not always elegantly but I was past them and in to a good position. Before long I found my self in the 4x final lined up with 3 other 4x guys fighting for the win on my downhill bike.  Set off and as usual I was out the gate in 4th, I tried to push though but I would have to have been to brutal to push though so decided to settle with 4th. Funny weekend.

Now were in La Bresse and he track is looking f*&$king wicked cant wait for Friday to come around so we can ride the thing, about time the tracks stated getting better for us. Hope now all the sh$t ones are out the way.
