The 2014 UCI World Cup Downhill Series came to a close with a bang here in Meribel, delivering one of the best races of the year. Sam Hill returned to the top of the podium with a spectacular winning run, wildcard riders mixed up the usual standings and cheering fans wielding chainsaws, air horns and flags lined the Méribel course from top to bottom. Not to mention the crowning of a new World Cup Champion, Josh 'Ratboy' Bryceland.

The Parkin Brothers were trackside, capturing all the spills, thrills and highlights from the last World Cup race of the season.
