We also want to express our support for @loicbruni29 who suffered a broken collarbone before the race. Wishing you a speedy recovery! 📸: @maddogboris

This past weekend was the second downhill world cup of 2022. The legendary track of Fort William set the stage for a ruthless battle between the best riders on earth. The highland track lived up to the reputation of Scottish weather. With changing conditions ending in a windy mud bath for the finals, it was all about finding the light in the chaos in order to make it to the finish line. Great job to all who fought through the weekend! 📸: @maddogboris

World Championship title number 5 for the queen of triathlon. What a performance from the #ambitiouscyclist @danielaryf. Her setup of ARC 1100 DICUT 80 and ARC 1100 DICUT DISC complemented her @feltbicycles and supported her to lead the race at the end of the bike course. #engineeringperformance 📷: @koruptvision

Catch me if you can... @tri.anne.haug is the #ironman World Championship defending champion. We took the chance to ask her few questions in her final days of preparation: For training she uses the P 1800 SPLINE. She describes them as "reliable, durable, stiff and just made for the daily training". On her choice for competition she says the following: "I choose my setup of ARC 1100 DICUT depending on the demands of the race course and weather conditions". Which means for St. George, "I will use the ARC 1100 DICUT 50 mm in front. It's the lightest and is easy to control. In the back I will decide on the day depending on wind conditions if I pick the disc wheel or the 80 mm. But if it's safe enough to ride a disc, I will choose it because of aerodynamic aspects." After the intense training blocks, we wanted to know her program for the days leading up to race day. "The last week is all about getting ready for the race. Recover from the hard training and prepare mentally for the race." To finish we wanted to know her goal for the race. Her answer: "I want to show my best performance possible." Are you as excited as we are to see the performances tomorrow? Stay tuned. 📷: @jamesmitchell5

@samgolong aka The Big Unit... After a promising 2nd place at the #ironmantri 70.3 World Championship in St. George last year, he is back in Utah for his first full distance World Championship. Our setup of ARC 1100 DICUT 80 & DISC wheels, specially checked by the DT Swiss team at the Ironman village, will be supporting his @trekbikes Speed Concept on the bike course. In his words, "DT Swiss wheels have changed my ride experience. I feel more freedom and speed of movement with the wheels underneath me than I ever have before. The wheels accelerate and allow me to surge at will. The stiffness is unmatched. Finally, the sound of the 180 hub makes me excited to get enough speed to freewheel!" We are excited to see him perform on Saturday and hope he will make the sound of the 180 hubs resonate in the red hills of St. George. 📸: @andywearspink #ambitiouscyclist #engineeringperformance
