[View this email in your browser]( Vali Höll Dominates by 7.102 Seconds at Home, Loic Bruni Carries on His Incredible Form with Another Win, Erice van Leuven Takes Her First Win of 2024, Max Alran Secures His First World Cup Win The track at Leogang continues to provide a real challenge for the world's best as the supposed bike park venue and some serious rain storms created plenty of drama for finals day. The Juniors had some of the hardest track conditions with greasy off-cambers and treacherous steeps in the woods. 2023 World Champ Erice Van Leuven went fastest for the first time this season as she ended the winning streak of Heather Wilson. Van Leuven crossed the line 4.7 seconds up on fellow New Zealand racer Eliana Hulsebosch with Wilson completing the podium in third place. In the junior men's racing, Max Alran took his first World Cup win finding 0.419 seconds against Dane Jewett. Mike Huter crossed the line third, but he was a ways off the pace, 2.8 back. Asa Vermette crashed at the top of his run before mistaking a fan's flag for a red flag in the woods ending the day in 21st. After a tough weekend in Poland, Vali Höll returned to dominate on home soil as she crossed the line with a massive winning margin of 7.1 seconds. Securing her second World Cup win of the season, Vali Höll is unmatched on a good day as she made it a perfect weekend in Austria with the fastest times in qualifying, semi-finals and finals. Anna Newkirk also had a great weekend taking second place in finals as well as in qualifying and semi-finals. Newkirk will be one to watch for the rest of the season. Myriam Nicole made her return to World Cup podiums with a third-place finish. Loic Bruni carries on his incredible form in 2024 as he is yet to finish outside the top two in finals. In a battle against his teammate Finn Iles, Loic Bruni came out on top in Leogang pulling back over 2.6 seconds through the final three sectors to take a second World Cup victory this season. Despite a thumb injury and only a handful of runs on the course this week, Finn Iles takes home second place ahead of a charging Lachlan Stevens-Mcnab. Riders have no time to rest as they are straight in the fourth round of racing at Val di Sole this week. Fantasy DH League Results: Who Won the Third Round - Leogang DH World Cup 2024 The winning team of Thibaut Daprela, Amaury Pierron, Oisin O Callaghan, Lachlan Stevens-Mcnab, Anna Newkirk and Myriam Nicole was chosen by 15 people at round three! Don't forget that after this round, each rider’s price changed based on their results. This means that your most expensive rider will likely be removed from your team and automatically replaced with a cheaper rider. You can make other team changes to make room to get that rider back, or replace them with another rider. At this point, it’s likely that going all-in on a top rider isn’t the winning strategy, so you’ll have to look further down the ranks to see who can deliver value for your money. Tip: look for top riders who had a bad first half to the season and who have dropped in value.
