Social Round Up: A Mini World Cup at the Portugal Cup DH Round 1

Mar 6, 2022
by Ed Spratt  
With only a few weeks left before the World Cup kicks off in Lourdes a stacked list of riders are in Tarouca attending the first Portugal DH Cup race of the year. The event looks more like a mini World Cup than a national race and it should be a good indicator of who is coming into Lourdes with the speed this year.

 What an incredible looking track. I want to ride that so badly. Which, incidentally, is exactly how I would ride it.

 Anyone spot the new Commencal with twin seat tubes and links tucked inside of them? New pulley location too with intake scoop looking guide shroud. Probably increases stiffness of the 6 bar frame. Qualified first in both mens and womens this morning!!

 So will our paid subscription to Pinkbike/Outside also just be a bunch of Instagram posts strung together?
That doesn't seem like a very good value...

 @MROSMD: It's weird, because the 'on track' list doesn't seem to go down in the way you'd expect (like 1 rider every minute). Maybe it just means they didn't finish, or that the timing system needs a double-check as the guy who was in first place for ages has just vanished of the results list!
