The race in Losinj starts above water. The Teams and their equipment have to take the ferry to get to the beautiful Island of Losinj. Easy as this, the European Downhill community get the first get together on wet surface. And wet does it all starts. The track walk and first practice session was accompanied by light drizzle. The riders had their first struggle with the wet soil under their wheels. Frane Medić (CRO - Croatian National Team) keep his fingers away from the brakes and flew along the course down to the harbour. Towards the afternoon, the Adriatic sun came out and gradually dried the course. The participants were grateful for the extra grip.
