Vital's B Practice Podcast - DAK GETS 3rd at Val di Sole!
The 2022 UCI Downhill World Cup season has come to a close, and racing concluded on debatably the gnarliest track of the year in Val di Sole, Italy. Overall titles were crowned, bikes were pushed to the limit, and our co-host, Dakotah Norton, finished the year with a career-best 3rd place. It was a bitter-sweet ending to the season with Dak ending on a high note, Camille Balanche pushing through injury to wrap up her first Elite title, and Red Bull signing off on their last broadcast. This week, the B Practice crew breaks down all the craziness from the weekend, discussing Dak’s podium weekend, World Cup bonuses, UCI podium payouts, Rob Warner’s final race as the voice of World Cup downhill, Amaury Pierron’s dominating season, and ability to ride the edge, rumors of an A and B final next year at World Cups, plans for the podcast this offseason, plus lots of random banter. Enjoy!
