Aaron Gwin goes for his second straight win on the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup tour when the downhill portion begins on Friday in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. Gwin opened the season with a win and hasn’t looked back en route to a 160 point lead over Troy Brosnan of Australia going into the fifth of seven races. Gwin won his second race of the year last month in Leogang, Austria and will be going for two straight this weekend. No other Americans were in the top 30 in Leogang but Luca Shaw finished 6th in Fort William, Scotland and Eliot Jackson was 14th in Cairns, Australia.
In addition to the downhill event Friday and Saturday there will be a cross-country event on Sunday.
