1:50 on just looks sped up. I watched it 5+ times trying to spot lines and my brain just doesn't compute at that speed. Wild.

The whole run is amazing! But yeah, that section in the trees really stands out. Just incomprehensibly fast.

So this is insane. Some of the lines near the trees could be deadly

Dude hasn't been injury free since 2019. Brace yourself, I think were going to see some wild shit from this man.

But how does one remain injury free riding like this?
I guess that's the art of racing: deciding how much Amaury or Greg to put in the mix. Turning the Amaury knob to 11 clearly worked this time around...

At 1:10 he loses the bike, slips, WHACKS a big tree and then completely misses the grass camel hump out of the trees and slides down to the middle outside line and lost all his speed. If he doesn't mess up there, how much does he win by???

Holy heck, I knew he's been the fastest rider on the circuit for a couple years, but that is big time evidence of just how much faster he's going now

The amount of times he almost lost it and then somehow saved is insane. Definitely riding the absolute edge.

JFC what did i just watch. No wonder he was 1.5 seconds up at split 1. I bet a lot of the top 60 watch this and have their heart broken.

I don't think I'd ever watch a competitor's POV footage for that very reason. So glad I came into DH during the time of grainy video.
I'd be demoralized as hell if I watched anybody else's POV footage. When you're trackside, you can at least try what you see another racer do.
