There haven’t been many tracks that have been universally liked by riders this year but then there’s not many out there like Mont Sainte Anne. Long, fast, rough and steep it’s everything a top level downhill course should be. We rounded up all the best reactions from the riders on what has been described as “the gnarliest track of the year”.

Bruni’s back for the first time since Cairns and his World Champs livery has been replaced with this tasty maroon number.

Gwin has to be one of the favorites on Saturday and a win could seal the overall for him.
