Greatest DH run ever?

What is the greatest downhill run ever? What makes a great DH run? Over the years we have seen some epic performances with riders overcoming adversity like broken chains or less than ideal climatic conditions to post impossible times at the bottom of the hill. While they might not have won every time, these epic performance stand as some of the most iconic race runs ever.

Sam Hill 2007 Champery

Was it enough to win? No. Was it the greatest run ever? Maybe…

Sam Hill 2008 Val Di Sole

What could have been! One of the most iconic moments in DH history. Again, not enough to win but does that mean it wasn’t one of the greats?

Danny Hart 2011 Champery

When people say ‘ride it like it’s dry’ when it gets muddy, this is what they mean!

Neko Mulally 2014 Hafjell

For reference to Gwin’s chinless run in Leogang, here’s the OG run by Neko. An awesome reminder to never give up!
