All through this season there has been one rider that all of the photographers and filmmakers have been talking about. A young, quiet French guy has been smashing apart the biggest, manliest lines the circuit can offer and looking good doing it. That rider is Remi Thirion and before his result today we were going to tell you that he's a rider you need to start watching as he is undoubtedly something a bit special... Now there's little we need to say about him. He also has history on his side, he rides for Commencal, who are supported by BOS Suspension this season. That brings back together the two men, Max Commencal and Olivier Bossard. The last time they worked together was on the legendary V-Process team in the 90s that propelled Nico Vouilloz and Anne-Caroline Chausson to success after success...
The French really seem to take their sport La seriously. Well done Remi.
sounds like he had to go to the toilet real urgent if you write world cup like that ..haa
They're the legend of the bike engineering.
It was Max Commencal who in 1982 he started his first bicycle company, Sunn Bicycles.
Then, in 1993 he invited Olivier Bossard to take care of the suspension in his race bikes.
In 1994 François Gachet and Anne Caroline Chausson aboard Sunn bikes went on to win everything:
World Cups, World Champs, European Champs and French Champs.
The rest is history!
BOS took it very seriously in Vallnord and it paid off!

Then I'm so glad for Remi!! he's such a gnarly rider on the track, and so calm off!!! Well deserved win, and to live this on the inside was amazing!!!! BRAVO, CHAPEAU L'ARTISTE!
That happens on a lot of sport broadcasts, not only on free ones. You can´t blame Red Bull for that.
Great news from Cam Cole, he's sore but moving around after that nasty crash yesterday.

Many thanks to Remi Nico Fabien Damien Anne Caro, all the guys and girls still shredding and, of course, thank you Cedric!
(absolutely no offense to other nationalities rider.)
(and by the way: GOOOO TROY!!!)
Good for Remmi yesterday!!!!!
Interesting that it was not the suspension, the light frame, the datalogging that won the race, but the vision and commitment of a rider to spot and ride 1 line, 1 section so much faster than anyone else.
Gee was so far up with 40s to go he was out of probably the 5th last corner before Remi entered it, then there was the steep steps section as you exit the woods. Remi and Sam insided the way in when others went around it, then Remi insided and doubled the way out, the line and commitment was a winning formula, Gee made a mistake going outside, add the carried speed and Remi demonstrated how much 1 line can be worth.
A well deserved win, just based on that line alone.
Knowing the result and spkit times in advance of the delayed coverage made it more exciting in some respects, looking for where it was won and lost. Gotta say I screamed when he hit that inside line and doubled the flat bit at the bottom of the chute. Sooooo good.
No mention of how he handled the delay for Cole crash...obviously unaffected tho, haha
What model Kenda has rolled you ?
