Leogang’s legendary DH course was running fast, with just enough early-week moisture in the woods to keep things slick. By finals, the track had dried into a high-speed, high-stakes challenge. Tight qualifying margins added even more pressure—less than three seconds separated the top 20 men in Q1.
Ryan Griffith, making a courageous return just four weeks after a serious crash in Poland, completed practice and put in a qualifying run aboard his Reynolds-equipped Pivot Phoenix. After testing the waters, he made the smart call to sit out the race to focus on a full-strength return at Val di Sole.
Roger Vieira suffered a heavy crash in practice but thankfully avoided major injury. Showing grit, he attempted to qualify despite the setback but narrowly missed the cut. His growing comfort with the Reynolds DH wheel platform—designed for strength and stability in unpredictable conditions—was evident in his willingness to send it, even after going down hard.
Remy Meier-Smith came into Leogang with strong pace and confidence. But the brutal margins and shifting lines made qualifying unforgiving. Off-line errors in both Q1 and Q2 ended his bid, but the form is there—and with Reynolds DH wheels under him, he’ll be back in the mix soon.
Jenna Hastings, rebounding from a crash the week prior, showed determination in her qualifying attempt, riding smart and composed. She just missed the finals, but her return to full speed is well underway.
Through it all, Reynolds DH wheels remained a constant: light enough to stay nimble through tight woods, strong enough to smash through stumps and roots, and engineered for the feedback and precision World Cup tracks demand.
