Sometimes things need a little time to grow and develop and like a fine wine, Mont Sainte Anne has aged to perfection. Mont Saint Anne has everything to offer that a Downhill track should. It´s fast, it´s scary and it’s wild. For Matt Walker it will be his first race after a season of battling…

The UCI Lenzerheide was one we’d like to forget.  Despite prime weather conditions, cowbells, and green mountains, the team struggled throughout the whole weekend in Heidi-Land.
