Here´s an update of the first World Cup in Millau!
I managed to get 2 consistent rides - not as high scoring as I hoped - but I doubled my score from last years World Championships! At the end it was the 29th place for me (out of 44).
Looking forward to the next event in Spain now - it can only get better!!!
And there also was a nice opening ceremony in front of a huge crowd (About 8000 people) - here´s a picture of the flag bearers:
