why did loic bruni dns

Loic Bruni did not start (DNS) at the tenth and final round of the UCI Downhill World Cup due to injuries he sustained during practice. He had a heavy crash on his first practice run, which resulted in injuries including internal bleeding in his leg. Despite initially intending to push through, the injury became too severe for him to compete effectively and safely. His decision to DNS was to prioritize his health and avoid worsening the injury. Additionally, it was a dramatic and emotional moment for Bruni, especially since the event was critical for the overall competition standings. His withdrawal allowed Jackson Goldstone to take the overall World Cup win.
