The 2026 World Cup season was already feeling a little, how do we put this, unhinged. Even for downhill, there’s been a lot of drama.
Some of that is between the tape or, er, outside the tape with Jackson Goldstone and Asa Vermette both struggling to stay on track in Loudenvielle.
How and when to watch Leogang World Cup this weekend
Other events, like Wyn Masters breaking an arm trying to avoid a rider held up by “hard tail guy” in the South Korea World Cup feel different.
Troy Brosnan’s crash in Leogang feels somewhere between the two. Any other year, it’d probably just be a wild crash. This year, it feels like its piling on to the mayhem.
Anyway, Brosnan is somehow free from serious injury, despite hitting a fallen riders bike on the high-speed Motorway section of the Leogang course, one of the fastest sections of track all season. Hopefully he can turn around and have a good weekend at the races.
Troy Brosnan: HUGE Crash in Leogang! Expect the unexpected..!
What’s Brosnan say?
“About as unlucky as you can get, my fellow Aussie had a crash and I was behind him and didn’t see his crash or bike on the track!”
