In the seasonal long battle between the top two women in the world cup downhill series this year, the race at Leogang was a hotly contested battlefield.
Rachel absolutely destroyed the top of the course and put up a gap at the first split, but Manon was able to slowly reel the UK rider in on the physically demanding pedaling and technical sections towards the bottom of the course.
Drop past the break to watch the remarkable side by side POV footage of their race runs.
Hopefully we’ll see more of these compilations in the future, or at least the GoPro footage of Aaron Gwin’s breathtaking ride on a flat tire.
