Asa vs Amaury in South Korea: GoPro head-to-head is the story of a historic World Cup win

Asa Vermette was perfection in his elite World Cup debut, taking a big win in his first World Cup since graduating from the junior ranks. But it almost played out very differently. Amaury Pierron was rolling right with Vermette before sliding out in the bottom half of the track. Somehow, the powerful Frenchman recovered fast enough to stay on the podium. But everyone was left wondering what could have been.

Now, GoPro is showing exactly what could have been. The  action cam brand’s head-to-head series retuns with an iconic matchup to kick off the 2026 World Cup season. Race winner, Asa Vermette, versus crash-to-podium past-champion Amaury Pierron. If this is what the entire 2026 season is going to be like, we’re here for it. Absolutely wild.
