REMI BONNET, INDIVIDUAL SKI MOUNTAIN WORLD CHAMPION
In the men’s race, the protagonist was Remi Bonnet, who had the dream of becoming a double World Champion after his victory in the Vertical.
From the start he took control of the race, and after the first climb, he was already leading with 40 seconds. From there he increased his advantage, to reach the finish line almost two minutes ahead of the Italian Matteo Eydallin, who was second.
Bronze also went to another Italian, Robert Antonioli. Nadir Maguet also from Italy finished off the podium fourth, while French legend William Bon Mardion closed out the Top 5.
REMI BONNET STATEMENTS
“It’s my best season ever. In summer I won everything, and now in winter too. So I have to enjoy it.” “The track was perfect, technical and the scenery incredible. I love racing in Spain, the people are lovely, and the races are always good and technical. So I think I’ll be back in the summer.”
