Ever wondered how Steve Smith prepares for a race? Or which lucky fellow is in charge of massaging Rachel Atherton\u2019s legs? Or maybe, what tricks the mechanics use to make Tomas Slavik\u2019s bike faster? You can get all the answers by visiting the team & expo-area located at the bottom station of the gondola. No top-secret pit garages like in Formula One. You can see for yourself how the teams prepare for each race before hitting the track. You might even catch some team giveaways or get an autograph from your racing idol in between races.<\/p>\n

After the contests it\u2019s time to unwind and Saalfelden Leogang knows how to throw a party! Starting at 9pm on Saturday, while the downhill elite are tucked away in their beds, resting for the final race on Sunday, the British party master Sam Pilgrim and his colleagues will be getting the crowd pumping at the legendary Oe3 Party with DJs Darius & Finlay! On Sunday, the party continues from 6pm at the Outback Bar after the new downhill King and Queen take their place on the podium.<\/p>\n
