Did it in slalom racing at Kitzbuhel of all places. Considering the Brits invented slalom racing over 100 years ago, and never won at world cup level, this is a massive achievement. Dave is basically a one man band, 35 years old. Dedicated his life to the sport. Has a very small team behind him with very small budget. Compared to the budgets given to Alpine nations for racing, this is a massive result. An absolute epic performance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'm a regular viewer of Ski Sunday so essentially been following his career for many years now. This is an absolutely huge result. Very happy for him, certainly can't be easy turning up every single week for as long as he has with such a slight chance of even getting near the podium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to watch it back in the day when the Bell brothers were usually about 10 seconds off the pace every race! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
