Fort William: DH Final Results

Holy Shit! It's been an amazing day of racing at Fort Bill!



Tracey Moseley was the last woman on the mountain and came storming down the final motorway section to a screaming crowd. She kicked Sabrina clean out of the hot seat by a clean 5 seconds and took Gold for the women. She has dominated ALL weekend - she was fastest in timed practice, fastest in quali's and fastest in the finals. 100% pinned all weekend!




Top 5:

Tracey Moseley 5:20:87
Sabrina Jonnier 5:25:01
Rachel Atherton 5:26:76
Mio Suemasa 5:35:64
Melissa Buhl 5:45:19

The mens final was probably the most exciting race i've ever witnessed. Tons of changes in the hotseat, loads of UK riders putting in top results, no handers from Gracia, punctures all over the place. With the last few riders to go Rennie stormed into the finish and took the hotspot, Cathro came down into 3rd place, Barel punctured and Peaty hammered down behind him into first place. With only 3 riders left on the hill Steve was looking tense... Hill came down into 5th and Gee into 2nd. Only Minaar left on the hill and the crowd were going absolutely bloody BONKERS. He crossed the line with a 4:43:52 and into the top spot. Gold for Minaar, Silver for Gee, Bronze for Steve. Dominance for the Syndicate!
