This season is one for the books as The Norco Factory Team wrapped up an extraordinary year of racing. Returning to their Canadian roots at the iconic Mont-Sainte-Anne venue, they marked the eighth and final stop of the 2023 World Cup Downhill season.

Proper warm-ups make a significant difference, and surprisingly, so do those race kits ;)

And he's off! Mark Wallace flyin' out the gate.

All time (fall time) conditions, as G-Race and Mark dominate the track.

These fall views might just have us inspired for some potential jersey graphics...


Lucas opts for the ultimate choice of pants during finals - the DP4 in tobacco. It's evident that in these damp track conditions, brown pants are the only way to go, trust us.

And the crowd goes wild. Lucas Cruz-in into the finish area, marking an inspiring comeback to racing following a recent injury.

Gondola doors sealing the 2023 World Cup Downhill season.

That's a wrap!
