Pre-Worlds: Remi Thirion and Myriam Nicole Take Top Spot in Vallnord 6

With World Champs only 108 days away (who's counting, though?), some riders took the opportunity to get in some extra practice on the future Worlds track at Vallnord Bike Park for round 2 of the DVO Downhill Cup. Topping the Men's DH was dangerman Remi Thirion, with Greg Minnaar and Matt Simmonds close behind in the number 2 and 3 spots.
