Leogang delivered another incredible day of racing as the second round of the 2023 downhill World Cup series wraps up in Austria. As the dust settles in Leogang it was Vali Höll and Andreas Kolb who came out on top taking their first home World Cup wins (a first-ever win for Kolb). The racing was flat-out and rowdy but apart from the winning riders who else was performing well at round two?
