The Canadian Joyride champion was forced to miss Rotorua with a knee injury but picked up exactly where he ledt off with a sublime run in the Alps.
After last year’s event was cancelled due to rain, this was the first chance we’d had to see the riders hit the course in anger – and they truly delivered.
Rheeder’s first run score of 92.33 couldn’t be toppled but Emil Johansson came closest with a 90.33 and Szymon Godziek came third on 86.66.
