[View this email in your browser]( Legendary Runs from Amaury Pierron & Eleonora Farina in Slick Conditions, Asa Vermette & Heather Wilson Win Juniors After Results Were Decided by Qualifying We said World Cup racing doesn't get better after Val di Sole, but the wet weather showdown this weekend proved us wrong. Sadly, not everyone got to have fun in the mud, as a tight schedule to avoid the worst of the storm left junior racing cancelled. With no finals, the results were decided by qualifying, handing Heather Wilson and Asa Vermette their third win in 2024. One of the first riders down the hill, Eleonora Farina, managed to master the mix of roots, mud and greasy off-cambers to go fastest with a time no one could come within six seconds of. Mille Johnset had the next best showing as she managed a clean run to take 2nd place. Seagrave fought back from a crash and salvaged the weekend with third place, a little over 20 seconds off the winning time. The elite men's racing brought another storm to the valley as Amaury Pierron followed up a legendary run in Val di Sole with another mind-blowing performance. Andreas Kolb beat Greg Minnaar to the second-place spot after it looked like we could get another record-breaking win from the South African.
