LAST STAGE !

People were fighting for the points today to gain or maintain their positions in the overall rankings. Sometimes against their preferences, pushing the limits, they have gone into this stage with everything they had.

If it worked for some, it means that it didn't for others as places were swapped.

Once again we've got great ITWs with all these athletes, understand how to perfect your downhill with Nienke Brinkman, the power of mental resilience from Remi Bonnet (today's male champion), the power of the trail running community for Allie Mac (today's female champion), words of wisdom coming from the young Malen Osa, and how to ride the red line with Sophia Laukli.

Enjoy!

We've taken the Golden Trail World Series in the USA !

Your host Martin GAFFURI will once again get you up to speed with what you've got to know about the Pikes Peak Ascent in Manitou Spring, CO, and especially which runners you can expect to watch during the live coverage on race day.

We also had an insightful conversation with Allie McLaughlin, Manitou Springs local who's got several experiences at the Ascent, holds the record of the Manitou Incline and almost more importantly, is living many other lives as a skydiver, dirt biker, film maker that she shares with her dog Harley.
