Windham, New York, United States Of America. Our last stop in North America for the world cup and home to a short, speedy, rocky track. Today we took a wander with the Kona Team to see what changes had been made to the track and just how the track was running.
The first thing to notice, though not overly important is that the start gate has moved into the woods. The track then descends into some steep wooded sections with rock slabs and some rock gardens. We think the top part of the track is probably the most technically challenging aspect. However something to note though, is that the track has many places where there are only one to two lines. It was fairly dry when we walked down the track, but it did rain, however if it rains a lot, the track will become greasy and the rocks and roots will make for a very slippery scenario especially through the off camber.
With the track being very short, with mainly rock sections, roots and some open areas we feel like the pictures will give you an idea of conditions for now. We are hearing mixed reports of the weather, some say rain, some say sun, we are going to take a guess that it will probably drizzle like today for the remainder of the week.
Stay tuned for tomorrows practice.
