The greatest DH run ever? Seriously fast and ram-packed with so much stoke! Rachel Atherton’s winning run at Mont Sainte Anne is an absolute corker and just shows how rapid and precise you need to be on this course to make it to the top. Rach posted a quicker time through the speed trap than the men’s winner, Danny Hart. How do you like those apples? #ThisGirlCan
“With the 2016 UCI overall title standing on this run, there was a little added pressure for Atherton. Blasting through the speed trap at 73kph, it was clear from the start that she was riding on another level. As each split came up, she increased her winning advantage right up until she crossed the line with an 11-second lead. It’s been the perfect season for Rachel Atherton as she takes the 016 UCI women’s overall title, with one round left to go.”
