Schladming results...

Without reading too much into the results, Sam Hill is clearly favourite for the overall title this year; he now leads the championship by even further and Peaty finished back in 5th. Strong performance from Gee Atherton with a 2nd to Hill in the race and the practice. All 3 Honda riders in the top 7, so Brendan looks as if he is "On it" and over his hand injury from earlier in the season.
