Gorgeous pics! Les Gets looks dammn fast, as evidenced by the stutter bumps.

Thanks for that hit.

it better be fast! 2004 world champs are being held there:

http://www.lesgets2004.com/eindexnew.htm

Characteristics :

Start : 1 660 m
Finish : 1 175 m
Drop : 485 m
Large passages : 40%
Tight passages : 60%
Fast sections : 65%
Technical sections : 35%

The Mont-Chery, already a legend,offers still more show and will boost the adrenalin !
The race takes place on the Mont-Chery slopes where 5 World Cups have already been run in the past.
The downhill run has been remodelled for the world championships especially the last 700 m so as to make this race even more spectacular.
