'25 DHI.8 //
Lenzerheide

The Yeti / FOX Factory Downhill Team was out in force again for DHI.8 in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. 

As Swiss star Camille Balanche closes out her final season, Lenzerheide delivered a home crowd of family and friends. 

With incredible support on the sidelines and pits, Cam tackled the week with intensity as she chased the podium for her final World Cup in Switzerland. 

Cam was fast in practice and, after qualifying in 3rd, looked to be a solid contender for the finals podium. Balanche had a strong run in finals, but a few minor mistakes cost her a spot on the podium, finishing 8th. 

Despite the disappointment of missing the podium at home, Camille’s race result kept her in the running for the overall. Camille remains in 5th place overall in the UCI DHI Women’s Elite World Cup with two rounds to go. 

Junior rider Tyler Waite entered the weekend in 2nd place in the World Cup standings overall, hoping to finally rise to the top step of a DHI Junior World Cup podium. After qualifying 2nd, Tyler had the track speed to challenge the fastest for the win. He pushed it for the win in finals, but sadly, a flat took him out in the finals run where he finished 17th.  

The story of the day for Yeti / FOX Factory was the 16-year-old emerging phenom Jonty Williamson. After qualifying 4th, it was clear Jonty was on pace, but he fired up the afterburners in his Finals run and finished 2nd – his best ride yet. 

The 2nd place finish vaulted Jonty to 6th overall, right behind teammate Tyler Waite in 4th, in what’s been one of the most competitive Junior Men’s fields in years. 

The competition in the Elite Men’s field remains red-hot. Richie Rude looked good in practice, but was just shy of the speed needed to sneak into finals in Q1 and Q2.  

Yeti / FOX Factory Downhill Team remains in the top 10 in the team overall standings and comes closer to cementing a UCI Gravity World Series spot for the 2026-27 seasons, with two DHI World Cup races to go.
