Instabangers: Lenzerheide World Cup day 1

All the action straight from the pros

It’s been roughly a month since the last downhill World Cup and the pros have clearly been as anxious as we have to see it return as they’ve flooded social media with updates today.

Here is the very best action from the pros themselves on the first day of the Lenzerheide World Cup.

Rachel Atherton

Rachel is rocking some orange “World Cup Leader” lowers on her 40s. We doubt they’d look as good on Gwin’s Tues but we wonder if there’s any new tech in there…

Gee Atherton

First day of Lenzerheide WorldCup out here in Switzerland. Track is looking flat out and team are ready for action!! @trekbikes Session has had a full overhaul! #LetsGoRacing

Gee is also rocking some new Fox kit in the form of an air shock – he usually runs the DHX2 coil.

Dean Lucas

Unfortunately I couldn't be at Fort William for Stevie but this weekend @dhbernatguardia and @pocsports has helped put together something special in memory of him. #longlivechainsaw

Great to see open-piste switchbacks on a course. It’s flat out here in Lenzerheide.

Katy Curd will be hoping to sail into the top ten overall this weekend – the jumpy course should suit her.

Neko Mulally’s still out with a broken arm, let’s hope we see him back in race action soon.
