Final Results: Overall Standings for the 2020 DH World Cup Season

 His phone will be ringing all week.

 May the best man or woman win!!

 As Warner said, there were 7 races that counted toward points. Pretty strange season but still a hard earned title.

 Totally - amazing work by him! Do they award an “overall” in a shortened season?

 He beat us with the beatus'

 I can tell you from personal experience, it's a pain in the ass and another thing to worry about pre race. Too high, too low, etc.

 @jaycagney: haha nothing like a low blood sugar in the middle of a ride. Regardless, regular riding sure is crazy for how much better blood sugar behaves in general.

 he would have won if the 2 race quali points counted

 Loris would have won, if he beat Walker. Not jumping to Walker's defence through any national allegiance. But Loris was only 17 points behind him and finished way down the pack today. If he'd have won, he would have won, pretty simple equation?

 Already that has slid off my brain.

 Rob needs to work on the pronunciation, we'll be seeing more of Angel next year.

 And a world champ too!

 Anyone know what sunglasses Matt Walker had resting on his hat ?

 @CantClimb: 100%

 @CantClimb: 100% Renshaws by the looks of things.

 @CantClimb: marketing at its finest

 @donpinpon29: I need some new sunglasses.

 Not bad for a country with barely any mountains, crappy weather and a governing body that don’t care about MTB...

 @lewiscraik: your last point being especially important!! Amazing coincidence to see so many good French riders...? It's almost as if having a governing body that puts time, effort, funding and supports a good national circuit helps develop riders and lead to success - who would have thought it!! I hope others take note - there are some junior riders from GB who have been totally ignored by British Cycling and given no help - names two GB riders rode top 5 at world champs and had no support to go on and race the world cups. Im sure this is probably the case for many other national organisations too

 @ODY89: There wasn’t even a mention of the amazing Lousa results on BC’s social media this morning. I’m involved in Cycle Speedway too, it is just as bad for them.

 @lewiscraik: No surprise though, BC take their cues from the UCI.

 @lewiscraik: @lewiscraik: GB's got plenty of mountains, and crappy weather skills were quite an asset this WC.

 Phil Atwill could win

 You only race against the riders who show - Who knows what the outcome would be if I raced WC's? I could be the first guy down, crash real hard and stop the race for a while and cause some the top guys to lose their mojo - we'll never know. (sarcasm)

 Edmondson had a great run sure but the only reason he finished top 10 is cause it rained... let's not kid ourselves.

 @adamkat: I disagree Edmondson had a corker regardless of conditions they wernt huge changes to the track

 @adamkat: yeah, I mean it's not like he finished in the top 10 the race before.... Oh, shit, wait!?!
People came down plenty close enough to his top splits (thinking of Iles for example) but couldn't hold it together

 @Jrtf: Track changed for sure ... also visibility was certainly an issue (if you watched the broadcast you know what I'm talking about). Also, I think it was Martin Maes who was interviewed after his run in the rain and said himself that the mentality of the riders changes massively even if the track doesn't. Yes the top riders first few splits were close to Edmondsons' but that doesn't mean anything as far as fairness. If I rode in calm and you rode in a head-wind but our times were similar, pretty easy to suggest you're the stronger rider...

 @ODY89: See my point above ... also quite frankly Edmondson had the benefit of riding the exact (or marginally different) track as his qualifying and practice runs. The riders that came after and during the rain could not say the same. Had the weather conditions been consistent throughout, I don't see Jamie's time holding up in the top 10, but still a great ride nonetheless!!! Get the man a sponsor!

 Vergier is the rumour that’s been going around fairly unsubtly.

 @davechopoptions: interesting. The Syndicate seemed like a very good fit for him. That would be a very strong Trek team, if the current riders stay as well.

 Right!! One champ for another...and the one they kept is just at the front of his career!

 @abueno: and he's grown up on that bike. No wonder he goes so well on it, it fits him like a glove. That red colour is sensational too.

 Danny already leaving the team before the racing started, hence why he wasn't really on the pace ,did you not watch the racing ?

 IMO the early announcement of Danny leaving the team had a really negative impact in his motivation to perform.

 @Gwood85: In my humble opinion based on my own experience of life, his family and baby situation would have had a larger adverse effect than leaving the team. Every race forms part of his legacy, regardless of what bike/team his is on.

 @flyingfox49: not sure you understand how professionals work..you get paid and invested in for your results, even if he has a new deal...doing poorly would make him less valuable.

 @jaame: nail on the head statement for sure!

 Yeah I do actually, but I was reacting to somebody else’s comment about him being probably paid off to leave !! There was nothing to risk in that race if starting a new contract next year like he has done in the past by getting injured@abueno:

 But it didn’t - plus all the riders would have been made aware of this so it essentially became an all or nothing affair.

Walker thoroughly deserved it.

 No it wouldn't. Quali points were added to the race points, so Bruni got 250 from winning yeaterday instead of the usual 200.

 @Herrdok: Gotcha. Wasn't aware of that set-up

 @blanshard16: I believe it is to ensure the overall isn't decided in quali, to give us the thrill ofhaving to wait until (almost) last rider down. And boy it did!
