POV: WINNING the Toughest Race in MTB | Red Bull Hardline BC

5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Ace of Amet is on track then. Are we going to see some absolute magic from him again today? He's too bad a bet against it, I think. And so this is the first split is what we're looking at. He actually has a 16th place average at the first split, and then it goes down to 6th place. So this is something that he's been working on. We want to see a lot of aggression coming out of the gate. That's right. The first split is usually not Ace of Amet's fastest. He builds into his runs, holds a good high line across there though. Goes tight here, Elliot as well. Chops off a lot of track. Comes out with fair pace. Let's see what this first split tells us. First, like, fair pace, exactly where he needs to be. Yes, close enough, absolutely. But again, we know that he's not normally good at these first splits. No. Perhaps a little late in that left-hander there. If you're being hyper-critical, you're gonna get into his run suit. I mean, this looks like he is exactly where he needs to be. This is so smooth. You can just time all of these little bumps. Goes far right here. See if he can get this inside. Washes that. Smashes that super hard. We see most people pulling up off of that. Cutting off all the track. Nearly a second in the red now for Gomez. So he's falling back. An opportunity to make some time here if he can just get through this well. Yeah, getting the pumps in. Let's see if he really needs it. You have to kind of pedal as much as you can through here. Is he in the right gear? This section will tell us just exactly how well he's done in here. 24.4. Oh, getting that hop. The man leading at the moment loses. 88,000 to McNabb in there. So nothing again. Tight line off there as well. Yeah, gets the hop-hop. Exactly what we saw Lockie do through there. Smooth through here. He's able to conserve a little bit of energy. But he's not getting bucked around. Hops all the way from the top. Yeah. Go ahead. We're just watching to see how is he going, where is he going in these rock sections, that section, there's no way you can come through it smooth, you just have to kind of go and see what the bike is going to do and then react to it. And he was super straight through there, and now he goes green by a second then, so Vermeer, turn it right, goes low here, so quick is his entry being into this, inside here you just see the average speed, you see the corner speed, well ladies and gentlemen, Ace of Amazon, that's where you crash in seating, makes it past, problem, Straight now into this camber. He has to empty the tank before this final jump.
