Last weekend, the entire French DH circuit faced each other in Vallberg for the French DH Championships.
On a unique track, short and with ever-changing grip throughout the week, Myriam Nicole won her second consecutive title and the 6th of her career! And she won by more than 17 seconds!

In the men’s race, Benoît Coulanges was victorious once again, a year after last years race in Les Ménuires and like Myriam, he keeps his stripes! After showing his level at World Cup races this season with a podium in Leogang, he's getting more familiar with positioning himself in front of the likes of Thibaut Daprela, Loic Bruni and Loris Vergier.

Next fastest man, COMMENCAL Enduro Team rider Antoine Vidal who took the silver medal! Already providing us with excellent performances in EWS and the DH World Cup, he once again demonstrated his versatility and talent with this brilliant result.

Behind him were several other COMMENCAL riders in the top 10: Thibaut Daprela (5th), Thomas Estaque (6th), Matteo Iniguez (8th), Dylan Levesque (9th). A great performance also for Hugo Marini who took the 16th fastest time across all categories winning the U17 title!

In Spain, Alex Marin, who has just joined the COMMENCAL 21 team won his first race and the Spanish Championship title in his new colours! He (and we) couldn't have asked for a better start. As for his new young teammate Pau Menoyo, he also continues his progression after his victory in Leogang by winning the Junior category!

Finally, over to Switzerland and it's another Dorval AM COMMENCAL rider who also keeps her national title, Camille Balanche!

Congratulations to everyone!
