00:00 So he is the last guy to go. He's got two free ride world tour titles and a Bechdel Ross title under his belt
00:06 I cannot wait to see what the peak performance rider has for us on the tour
00:11 Christopher Turdell and he's had a great early season up in order as I've had amazing conditions
00:18 It's come down to the Alps more recently to get a bit more ski time underfoot and I think he's excited for
00:24 riding today
00:27 Yeah, pumped to get into the start gate with great conditions on the Pitiberg
00:30 Big wave to all the friends at home
00:35 Looking a little lonely up there as the last rider
00:53 Great view of the riders mental and physical preparation
00:57 The Sun hanging above the back perfect north-facing slope
01:04 Turdell dropping in from start one, hooking over to the skiers left
01:15 With a bunch of speed and a 360 right off the bat and a trademark Turdell turn
01:23 To control the speed speed Turdell absolutely flying now as he comes into the exposure
01:29 There's no easy way out of here right off the heart of it Christopher Turdell
01:34 Now into the open section coming into the lower part of the Pitiberg. There's not much below him
01:40 that's not huge Turdell lining up a big dog here getting transition and
01:45 sticking it
01:47 Perfect trajectory there riding up fast and strong and you could see next to where he landed the bomb holes
01:53 From the other riders that have had their hearts broken on that feature Turdell finding the exact right speed and laying out a backflip
02:00 Bringing it around
02:02 Christopher Turdell
02:04 Well, he got a wild card back onto the tour and he has proven once again
02:10 Why he is such a big threat on this face an enormous run for Turdell
02:15 Could be a little bit of a flutter of the heart for Hitzig. We'll see what the judges do with that. But that was textbook Turdell
02:21 Let's have a look back Anna the start of his run so strong with that 360
02:23 Bringing it round straight into some turns there
02:30 And then a big huge air is a better word for it and just looking so smooth yeah not bothered
02:41 Perfect right he had the turn right before to redirect the air
02:48 Perfect right he had the turn right before to redirect and it put him right into the perfect spot of that landing
02:54 That's where the experience of Christopher Turdell comes in
02:58 He's able to find the exact right spot to take off with the correct speed for it so that he can land that we saw
03:04 That one take down a bunch of really strong riders
03:06 So Christopher Turdell now in the start or sorry in the finish getting a hug from the peak performance
03:15 Marketing director there that is Anders Norin
03:18 Trading stories probably in Swedish
03:22 As now we see
03:26 These two riders the only two men left to have an effect
03:29 Turdell score yet to drop Hitzig sitting in that Dynastar hot seat
03:34 Waiting for Turdell waiting for these people to have their say as they crunch the numbers line them up against the categories
03:42 I mean that was perfection from Turdell so clean so crisp
03:46 But he's got a lot to contend with he sure does yeah, I mean all three of those riders sitting in podium positions right now
03:54 Incredible runs another just trademark run from Christopher Turdell
04:00 Interesting to see exactly where they're gonna place that but such a strong run and right at the end of the field
04:06 I mean, I think he did himself a credit by skiing in an area that didn't see a lot of traffic previously
04:11 It goes up 88 3 3
04:14 Christopher Turdell is going to be on the podium here on the back once again a huge performance
04:21 For one of the most experienced riders on the tour we can't call him old because he's just too awesome
