NEW TRACK. LOOSE TRACK! Andorra Vital RAW Day 1

Racers got their bikes in the dust today at the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Downhill in Vallnord, Andorra. The track is brand new, extremely fast and full of big jumps, berms and rocks. Watch as the best get loose! #MTB #DH #downhill
Watch the race live on www.redbull.tv while we still can!

Even the GOAT gets it wrong sometimes! Enjoyed seeing who was brave enough to huck the gap!

[@Slipperygecko390]

Im so happy that banner had lots of give in it.

[@T-rick]

That natural step down / gap is gnarly! Red Bull needs a camera right there

[@pendulum1997]

They’ll do what they always do when there’s a gnarly section that makes or breaks a run, cover it in the pre race buildup content and praise it’s importance and gnarlyness and then not put a camera there for broadcast… Can you tell the broadcast coverage winds me up?!

[@lenvillemeserve4285]

But wait until you don’t have it, you will miss it then.

[@ArmorOfZeus]

Man, that last section is such a sniper landing for the guys that are sending it. Very little room for error to keep it between the pads.

[@Ganiscol]

Cant mistake Ed's hollering for somebody elses 😅

[@BurnsRubber]

You can tell it’s Ed Masters at the end “no”

[@jameskroz1737]

I think it was Wyn 😅

Apparently you can cuz it was Wynn lol

Minnaar getting up close and personal with his Oakley sponsor

[@Coolcmsc]

YehBoi! Fantastic editing and angles - thank you! Coming to this after a few POV’s (BK’s) is perfect 😍

[@vitalmtb]

his POV runs had us stressed out. he's going so fast!

[@Coolcmsc]

@@vitalmtb 😊 His splits are fast on the timed run (apart from the tumble).

[@JamesRobertMTB]

One word. GNARLY!

[@jap7856]

WOW! For the old Mr. Minnaar to ride way after that drop and not hit a tree😁😵

[@j.shutts8159]

I think it would be cool to see an end of the year edit, where you combine all the raw footage and let riders have their own little sections. Either by rider or race, to music. The problem I see is that we can’t easily identify the rider, so the rider can’t build a fan base. I would love to know who a few of those guys were (therefore follow on IG, sponsor exposure etc). Just my thoughts

[@_R.F_]

Sick track to watch! My eyes got dusty just from watching this lol.

[@RicardoPetrazzi]

ah, super, more *_Vital_* ly important practice day coverage! 🤘👍⭐🥇😎

[@zGJungle]

Strange fog, in the UK the fog comes from the air, here it seems to come from the ground ?

[@jg2408]

Wyn and Deaks have the same excited holler 🤣🤣 had to remember Ben was at Rogate or I'd have swore it was him.

[@xLordSpicy]

I've been waiting all day for this. Didn't disappoint! 🤙

[@Charliezfabrykiczekolady]

like always. AWESOME !!

[@jptothetree]

Hell yeah! Another banger of an edit from John "Robbie" Lawlor. I'm so pumped for this weekend

[@sittopee]

Such sick footage! Best stuff around!

[@discmotoslots]

Excellent! Go Luca!

[@Mr00andy]

Thanks for your Videos 👌🏼

[@willd2156]

Greg was a bit indecisive by the look's and got burnt. Full commitment to that gnarly line 🙈

[@toneloke7489]

I get Jackson and Laurie mixed up sometimes, their almost the same height, and stylish as hell!!🤘🤘

[@lamefart]

Like bunnies swiftly skip hopping features.. lol

[@danharvey3096]

Sick footrage! Youve got some sweet angles that i hope Redbull can cover.. speaking of which maybe you can take over coverage next year instead of the dreaded Discovery ruining it for everyone with a likely paywall, as UCI says sayonara to Redbull.. Anyway back to Andora, lookin at this i think Blenki is going to do well, all that dust & that speed, is just like a home practice run for him haha! If you've ever seen NZ nationals at Christchurch Adventure park, it gets dusty like that haha! Come to think of it, quite alot of NZ riding spots get pretty dry & dusty, so think the Kiwis are going to do well!

[@stewartdoherty4037]

looking forward to this one

[@jalapenohotcakes]

Love this 🤩 13:55 YEAH BRO 😂

[@DM-hw4cr]

Insane!!!

[@marauder7412]

Gonna be a great race. By the time we get to race day, there's gonna be some proper massive holes everywhere with some lovely fine dust. Yummy

[@yattaran1484]

What a brave riders they are !.💪

[@braxtona.4575]

Everytime these videos end im like damn I wish it was an hour longer

[@marc-antoinemetivier2854]

Good looking track

[@jokermtb]

awesome

[@Gene_158]

Imagine that track but with hero dirt! 😍

[@mauriciomercadoa.4944]

yaboi!

[@derekbrotherton3462]

That Fox helmet looks comically big on the GOAT

[@badwrong6362]

There are two guys I can recognized just by the way they ride. Wyn being huge looks like he is smashing his bike when pumping. And brendog who sometimes you can't tell if his pumping or not because he just looks like he is standing on his bike. lol

🔥

[@Ganiscol]

By race day this track wont just have ruts but trenches to get lost in 😬

[@nzdhs]

0:00 ah yes Eddie yelling

[@jcgrundl]

Holy smokes, by the end of the weekend, the riders will have sliced right through some of those berms.

[@toneloke7489]

That boulder at 5:33 and 5:35 looks super sketchy as the come out of that left turn!!☠

[@christianobermeier7862]

The South African Airplane fly over the bars!!!! and over the track.on Saturday.

[@lufbraroots]

day one and all the corners already have Laurie Greenland sized holes in them 😮

[@davidtonchev]

This is probably the best downhill racing track.

[@l.k.1011]

.... with the worst event organization. ^^

[@unitforce7417]

Nah its the worst to now Really its just a flowline not downhill at all

[@vitalmtb]

@unitforce did you watch the video? hardly a flow trail for bottom 70% of the track.

[@pendulum1997]

@Rey Skywalker good, some previous World Cup tracks have been dogshit where the riders hate it. This looks sick

[@unitforce7417]

@@vitalmtb yeah i did i also whatched a pov of it yeas at the end there are some "rocky" sections but i think you really have to argue wether this is really enough for a dh track

[@MultiTerrainBike]

oh Greg.... 🤣

[@budycelyn]

some of those berms wont be there come race day

[@roddas26]

After watching this I don't feel so bad about my lack of jumping expertise.

[@BurnsRubber]

Looks like Northstar. Dust bowl.

[@NMgravel]

Who remembers Sandpoint Idaho?

[@brynanderson9905]

Would someone tell the syndicate that they’ve got one rider competing in elites and juniors? He’s just switching his kit in between runs

[@petergraz2132]

Should be titled “Andorraw”

[@vitalmtb]

hahahaha

[@dazeccles]

Track is sick, a few sketchy sections but otherwise an absolute blast

[@unitforce7417]

It should be just sketchy thats what dh is about

[@jeffjones5063]

What number Gwin, at what point in video?

[@lamefart]

Gwin looked like a tank. Lol

[@jeffjones5063]

what number? where in the video?

[@TheModernitas]

track looks a litle too dangerous, sick riding tho off the charts

[@NMENFO]

Kin el greg

[@vrhkrv4696]

is the Norco team still on the Range? or is it a new DH prototype bike?

[@vitalmtb]

still range set up for downhill

[@alexgr87]

I wonder why only Finn is riding the proto bike and not Loic

[@jamielevett3631]

Hart looks the fastest overall to me.

Greg was slower the 2nd time...

[@retrovertigocl]

why dont you put the names of the irders... just once in the video is ok.

[@dhnoob]

Where is No. 1 rider ranked wearing shorts in these hot conditions...?

[@AKay4tothe7]

The lone rock needs to go. Shouldn't be there.

[@jonnywose2528]

Yeah, why don't riders wear shorts anymore? Spending all day in pants, in that heat?

[@pendulum1997]

Aero bru. Wearing shorts with DH kneepads isn’t that much cooler than pants in that heat anyway

[@jreg027]

This track looks soft no technical sections just 5 sec of tech then the rest flow jumps boring

[@unitforce7417]

Dont like the track lenzerheide and leonwas way better
