The posting of this practice day raw footage is a great idea. Gives a completely different perspective than XCC & XCO races. Hope they keep this up for every race this year. 👌

[@RogerPatrocinio]

What a great idea these raw training vids are- amazing insight and what a course!!

[@thiagoghilardi6779]

Will be good for technical riders. Looks like everyone is having a lot of fun. Hopefully, this course will be a keeper on the calendar going forward.

[@arturoruiz2727]

Genial, sacando a los riders de su "trazo de confort". Impresionante pista, definitivamente esto le viene bien a la Copa del Mundo, pues no solo Europa y EEUU son "el mundo".

[@aaronjohnson7607]

By far the sickest xc course I’ve seen!

[@DaniloCarreiro]

[@12Mountainbike]

A pista de Araxá teve uma grande evolução! Certamente todas as pistas Word cup vao seguir essa tendência.

[@brokinarrow1]

[@hockeyiscanada]

This race course is like 100 times better than the first one which was so boring it had nothing to it lol

[@kennethkuhlman8864]

When will XCO courses warrent elbow and knee protection? I thiiiink now? No? Am i crazy? Some lightweight breathable flexible gear?

[@alexienc]

The man almost got fall

[@TROILI_ENDURO]

Cross-Country or Enduro?...🤔😅🤣🤣🤣

[@biketrailminas.4736]

Araxá Brasil show

[@ccanavesi]

Hopefully nobody gets hurt

[@thiagoghilardi6779]

amem. lots of rocks, roots and jumps. never seem so many on a single xco course.

[@joffly]

5:01 Did the frame break ?

[@hugosantana7253]

That's what I think too.

[@Vitestrategy]

The carnage level is going to be high at race pace. Great looking course for an all around rider!

[@ossaircantillano5948]

El bidón de Mathias Fucklirger cae de la bici en una de las bajadas

[@heldersousa3459]

Muito caro o ingresso ,no brasil e so ambiçao,o estado tinha q interferir nesses preços abusivo, mas o estado e fraco .

[@Paganiproductions84]

Why xco mtb better is than road racing

[@edsonmacedo9561]

Desnecessário esse rock Garden com pedras pontiagudas...Coloca os pilotos em risco.

[@Twentykixx]

Don’t weight weenie on the tires, you’ll be out quick…

[@GeorgeC.bladesmith]

I dont know, this course looks pretty dangerous. In group of guys in high speed it will be dangerous

[@phoenixinthetrees1446]

XC races seem to be less about fitness and more about skill levels on full-sus bikes these days. Those log- and rock-gardens are just getting stupidly dangerous. It's time for the UCI to step in and stop this.

[@lisabradley9288]

Brazil has not disappointed us with there fantastic cross-country mtb courses!! Looking forward to watching the mountain bike racers compete this weekend 🚵🏼‍♀️🚵🏻🇧🇷💛🏆
