Leogang World Champs - only an hour away from salzburg.......What is the best track for spectating in Europe? My wife and I will be travelling around Europe next summer, so I'd like to plan the trip around the best WC to see in person.
You'd be hard press to pick a bad one... I've only been to Ft. William: It's an awesome event with a great atmosphere, Scotland is amazing to visit - awesome scenery, great history, great mountain hikes, distilleries, etc. Bad thing is weather, mosquitoes, and somewhat pricey. France and Italy would be awesome too, but with better weather and better food!What is the best track for spectating in Europe?

That would be awesome. He crushed it in Val di Sole; 21st even with an off.rude jr in the top 10.
I've been to world cups for 20+ years, and I make it a point to get to Fort William every chance I get. Unmatched energy in that place, must be an ancient alien landing site. You have to go with the usual suspects on this track, but I am expecting Brook Mcdonald to get on the podium, he is riding well. I always thought you HAVE to be big and burly to succeed at Ft. william, but Hart proved me wrong, in addition to other little guys of the past.What is the best track for spectating in Europe?

OK, that could slow her down a bit - I didn't realize she was actually broken.Manon is out with a broken collarbone.
there goes my womens wildcard... Sucks for her, she seems to really have put the work in, and this is as close to her home track as you get. I hope she heals up soon (and doesn't follow in Rachel's footsteps in the injusry department).Manon is out with a broken collarbone.
yes.Can I make the next rounds '-official' thread?
oohhhh, World Champs is tempting!Leogang World Champs - only an hour away from salzburg.......
Glad to hear it's hard to pick a bad one- atmoshphere and other activities will be an important thing since my wife itsn't quite as psyched on the racing as I am!You'd be hard press to pick a bad one...

Second vote for Ft. Bill, especially from a guy who has been to many is pretty convincing! I think I'll be setting my sights on that to arrange the trip around. Thanks everyone for the input-I've been to world cups for 20+ years, and I make it a point to get to Fort William every chance I get.
