Last week Eric Grimmett, a rider from Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas in the US, sent us some images from the Junior 26" Final of the World Championships in Mont Sainte-Anne. Now here’s a video that plunges you into the heart of the Elite 26" Final in all its intensity. Witness Gilles Coustellier in difficulty for the first time this season and Kenny Belaey on his way to victory. The clips are largely unedited, feature chronologically and there are no effects whatsoever, which doesn’t stop them from recreating the intensity and atmosphere of the most important fixture of the season, which this year was also one of the most surprising.
