Timed practice results are in from Lourdes, France at the first UCI World Cup downhill race and it should come as no surprise that Remi Thirion is on the gas in home turf with the fastest time. It’s early to tell who will be strong in the loose, wet conditions. Per usual, Rachel Atherton is also showing signs of early dominance.
