Summary

Alright, we’re back in Leogang, a track the riders know well, where margins are tight. Will electronic suspension enable those that have it to find the previously illusive perfect setup for this track of differing styles? Is Hardline the best preparation for a World Cup and how are riders that haven’t been racing since Poland keeping sharp coming into round 3? We’ll answer all that and more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Leogang World Cup pre-race show with Chris Kilmurray.
