The Crankworx World Tour is on track to light up screens around the world in one week\u2019s time, debuting the return of live mountain bike racing on\u00a0Red Bull TV<\/a>. For many of the world\u2019s top mountain bike athletes,\u00a0Crankworx Innsbruck\u00a0will also mark their return to the field of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one athlete in particular, this return to racing represents even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels amazing to be coming back,\u201d<\/em> said Brook Macdonald, who broke two vertebrae on a training run at the Mont-Sainte-Anne World Championships last August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t raced in over a year, so to be able to be back in the racing scene is going to be the best… I feel like this (Crankworx) is a great opportunity to get back into the mental side of preparing myself to race again and at a competitive level.<\/p>– Brook MacDonald<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

His goal for his first race back, a race that he won last year?\u00a0\u201cTo win it again!\u201d<\/em> the 28-year-old answered, laughing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObviously this is a dream, but my biggest goal is just to complete a race weekend knowing how that feels again.\u201d<\/em> The racer\u2019s journey back to racing included surgery and months of rehab as he learned to walk again, before getting back on the bike. \u201cThat\u2019s a big goal in itself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside Brook, here\u2019s a roundup of what\u2019s coming and\u00a0who to watch for<\/a>, with a full live broadcast schedule on Red Bull TV to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downhill. Is. BACK.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As Downhill racing returns to Red Bull TV for the first time since Crankworx Rotorua in March,\u00a0Macdonald\u00a0<\/strong>and his teammates, including\u00a0Laurie Greenland<\/strong>, will be raring to go. Watch for veteran elite racer\u00a0Mick \u201cSik Mik\u201d Hannah<\/strong>(also racing Dual Slalom and Pump Track), and young gun\u00a0Lucas Cruz\u00a0<\/strong>who showed he\u2019s primed for action with a solid showing in the\u00a0CLIF Crankworx Summer Series\u00a0in August. And someone who\u2019s proved he\u2019s no slouch in DH, Enduro powerhouse\u00a0Martin Maes\u00a0<\/strong>is sure to be in fighting shape following back-to-back weekends of EWS racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the women\u2019s side, the racer who stood atop the podium alongside Macdonald last year.\u00a0Tracey Hannah\u00a0<\/strong>will be back and looking to defend. Sure to be gunning for a DH win on home soil,Vali H\u00f6ll\u00a0<\/strong>will be representing Austria in the DH. Maes\u2019 teammate\u00a0Noga Korem\u00a0<\/strong>and Pivot\u2019s\u00a0Morgane Charre<\/strong>, currently ranked second in the world in the EWS, will also be channeling their Enduro skills and hoping to pull together a winning race run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slopestyle riders ready to flex<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If recent coverage from the Audi Nines got you stoked to see more big style, Crankworx Innsbruck will have plenty to satisfy. 14 of the more stylish riders in the world are getting ready to take on the Crankworx Innsbruck Slopestyle, a gold event on the FMB World Tour. The rider list includes Emil Johansson<\/strong>, who\u2019s won both Crankworx events that\u2019ve run since Crankworx Innsbruck 2019 (his return to competition, in which he came in second). Others to watch for will be Germany\u2019s Erik Fedko<\/strong>, who placed third in Rotorua, and Dawid Godziek <\/strong>who made his Crankworx Slopestyle debut in Innsbruck last year and took third. Paul Couderc <\/strong>is also riding a wave of momentum after landing an epic Footplant Flip at Audi Nines earlier in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women\u2019s Speed & Style to make Austrian debut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Throw some speed and a hearty dose of strategy into the style mix, and you have the CLIF Speed & Style Innsbruck presented by GoPro. For the first time in Innsbruck, an invitational women\u2019s field will show the world what they\u2019ve got on this famed track. Germany\u2019s\u00a0Kathi Kuypers\u00a0<\/strong>will certainly be one to watch, along with local rider\u00a0Paula Zibasa\u00a0<\/strong>and France\u2019s\u00a0Mathilde Bernard<\/strong>, who\u2019s tasted victory in Crankworx Pump Track before, but will be taking on this discipline for the first time in Innsbruck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the men\u2019s side, 2019\u2019s European Whip-Off Champion Kaos Seagrave <\/strong>is likely to be a top contender (he\u2019s also tackling every event in Innsbruck this year, except Slopestyle).  He\u2019ll be competing against Sam Reynolds<\/strong>, who narrowly missed out on the event podium last year, finishing fourth, and Slopestyle all-stars like Tomas Lemoine<\/strong>, who\u2019s earned a fair few pieces of Speed & Style hardware over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dual Slalom: the great equalizer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Where will you find the biggest cross-section of racers representing different disciplines of MTB? The Dual Slalom track is the mountain bike melting pot of Crankworx and consistently the site of some of the tightest and most exciting battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Bernard Kerr vs Eddie Masters \/ photo: Fraser Britton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ed Masters\u00a0<\/strong>will be fighting for the top against Pivot teammate\u00a0Bernard Kerr\u00a0<\/strong>once again. The two have faced each other in head-to-head Crankworx Slalom racing before, finishing 1 (Kerr) and 2 (Masters) in Les Gets in 2018. Back to defend will be young racer Matthew Sterling, who stormed the event and took the W in 2019. Another to watch for will be newcomer to the Crankworx scene,\u00a0Brady Stone<\/strong>. The Kiwi is currently second overall in the EWS Men U21 category and is set to take on both Dual Slalom and DH in Innsbruck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the women\u2019s side, like Stone, EWS racers Ella Connolly <\/strong>and Martha Gill <\/strong>will be battling the likes of Vali H\u00f6ll<\/strong>, who in addition to DH and Dual Slalom, will also be charging for the top on the Pump Track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power and precision on the Pump Track<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Playing out on a short, fast and technical track, Crankworx Pump Track action is all about precision and, without the ability to pedal, a whole lot of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the most participation of all the women\u2019s events over the five days of the festival, the RockShox Innsbruck Pump Track Challenge will once again be the site of some exciting sunset battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norway\u2019s\u00a0Mille Johnset<\/strong>, in her first year of elite racing, is set to take on the Pump Track (in addition to racing Dual Slalom and DH). Alongside her, Germany\u2019s\u00a0Laura Brethauer<\/strong>, a veteran of the event, and the\u00a0Gehrig twins<\/strong>, who\u2019re shifting their focus from Enduro to Pump Track and DH for Crankworx Innsbruck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The men\u2019s roster is a who\u2019s who of MTB talent – where else can you see the likes of EWS shredder Adrien Dailly <\/strong>(coming off a win in Pietra Ligure) on the same start list as downhiller Mick Hannah<\/strong>, YouTube star Fabio Wibmer<\/strong>, style-masters like Antoine Bizet <\/strong>and Szymon Godziek<\/strong>, and heavy-hitters of the discipline like Chaney Guennet <\/strong>and Adrien Loron<\/strong>?!
