After a warm-up at the DH Golovec Trails Test Day in March, it’s finally time for some real racing for the Slovenian 20chocolate Downhill Cup points. On 4 May, the DH Pohorje race in Pohorje Bike Park in Maribor will also open the Austrian Gravity Cup Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Entries from both countries and probably from other countries in the region will be accepted until the evening of 1 May. The competition should be quite varied. Usually in Maribor, the magnet of the famous World Cup track takes care of that. This time it will be particularly interesting thanks to the newly built upper part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Section Up Close<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the start at the Luka hut, the new section, created by the builders from Alliance ASE, runs through the forest to the right of the old one, all the way to the exit from the forest onto the \u0160pelcin log ski slope, where last year’s start was located. The section is some 45 seconds long, with roots and compressions a bit like the classic first part, but some parts are much steeper and also off-camber, which could be awkward in wet conditions, at least while the track is not ridden in yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track is still closed until Friday, but Austrian ace David Trummer was recently allowed to test. The first three frames of his run will give you some impression…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
