Finale Ligure day 2 in the pits, a bit more going on today, however a noticeable absence of big names out and about in public areas, again all riders were on the hill. Even later in the day only a few riders were back, a different feeling compared to the DH world cup, with EWS having less interaction with the public. Anyway we spotted a few really cool bits which we can check out below.
This was the story of the day, empty tents.
SRAM probably supply the most entertainment as they work their way through at least 5 liters of fork oil and ice cream.
