Tignes Video Report : Sun 19th Jul 2009

As long as riders make the marked gates the rest of the mountain is theirs and the aim of the game is to be the fastest top to bottom.

The five races which made up the Tignes stage, kicked of in a brief moment of appauling weather but the participants were not deterred. Afterall, a bit of rain or snow just means a bit more mud to wash off later!

Day 2 was hot and sunny meaning that the special route down to Lac de Chevril, with helicopter airlift out not only ran but was a huge success.Despite the risky business of filming from some of the most challenging spots on the course here is some great footage to give you some idea of what these guys can do.
