PinkBike Racing: Val di Sole 2023 - WC#3

Pinkbike Racing is back in the Valley of the Sun, and as expected the weather is absolutely gorgeous. As usual, the track will be dry, and the marshals on the side of the track are ready to eat dust. Val di Sole World Cup 2023, let's go.

Full crew again for Trackwalk. Daddy Cathro is back on track to help with line choices.

The kids jumped on their bikes straight after trackwalk. With the new format, they don't have the time to think about the track they are going to ride straight after. They look for lines in the morning and send it in the afternoon.

After her podium in Leogang, Aimi was ready to take on the black snake. The training sessions went really well, Aimi was riding very well and pushing hard. It was a great show for Daddy Cathro, who was on trackside offering advice. Unfortunately, she was not feeling great on her final day. She finished 7th, which was not what she was looking for. One to build on! Watch more on Instagram: @aimi_kenyon

What we wanted for Wyatt this week was a top to bottom run in qualifying. Unfortunately, Wyatt missed the quali by 1 second. He now knows what is "too much" and "not enough" so he can adjust his riding on this for the next races. We keep on building! Watch more on Instagram: @wyatth64

Ben was trackside most of the weekend with the official bib jersey to help the riders find the best lines. One essential job. The more information about the track, the faster we can go. Also, he was working a lot to produce the "Inside the tape Valdisole" and "Story of the race". Watch more on Instagram @ben_cathro

Tibo is personally, super happy about that week he had. He qualified for the first time this season for the semi-finale. Which was a bit unexpected with the his current physical condition. He also competed in the 4X. He ended up 6th in front of a crazy Italian crowd. Also, riders and mechanics are constantly improving and it's super nice to see. Watch more on Instagram: @tibolaly
