The terrain in Monterey, California is distinct from most other downhill races. It's less technical, faster, with more flow and rewards smaller bikes and lots of pumping. For this reason, some of the faster World Cup racers struggled against competition. For example, Bernard Kerr, who was 6th in the World Cup overall in 2023 got 36th.
One notable DNF from the full results was Jake Green. In his run, Jake had a gnarly over-the-bars crash that went viral. from the downhill. Green suffered a broken collarbone in the crash.
