Hello from Elancourt Hill, where the men’s mountain bike medals are up for grabs today from 13:10 BST. It’s an absolute scorcher!
Defending Olympic champion Tom Pidcock and Charlie Aldridge are the Brits in action in this one.
I’ve been for a wander around the course before the action starts, and let me tell you, the first climb was difficult enough on foot, never mind the rest of it. Humbling.
You can't really appreciate the course until you see it in the flesh - the steep climbs, the size of the rocks, the tight turns.
This is going to be a lot of fun.
