After plenty of drama and mild discontent surrounding the first three races of the season, it was nice to have a good old-fashioned downhill race in Val di Sole. No one complained about the track being too straight or too easy. There were plenty of fresh sections and line choices. And the racing was as competitive as ever. Our main man Dak was back for his second race of the season, and his weekend was nothing short of a battle. We discuss how Dak's feeling at this stage of his recovery, as well as Jackson's ‘bouncy' riding style, Reece Wilson's 6D windshield goggles, Team Points, what to do with the Junior categories, Dak's experience going from Shimano XTR/Saint brakes to SRAM Maven's, and more. Plus, the usual race recaps.
