Elite men's podium and a very happy Peaty
We've just rolled in the door from a weekend at the UK DH Champs up at Bala... We've had sun, rain, mud, dust, loads of Janet's Jackets and a bit toooo much cider. But above all, a great two days of racing.
Tracey takes the top spot and shares a drink with the kids on the front row!
Top 3 Elites were:
Ladies:
Tracey Moseley
Helen Gaskell
Katy Kurd
Chaps:
Steve Peat
Marc Beaumont
Neil Donaghue
Which if I'm not wrong is an all Santa Cruz men's podium?
Of course, there's heaps more Champs that aren't Elites... They are:
Damon Smith
Fraser McGlone
Jamie Maller
Josh Bryceland
Derek Laughland
Alistair Maclennan
Mark Milward
Emma Wareham
Jessica Stone
Kate Betts
Well done to all of them...
Wondering why there's no Athertons on the podium? Gee and Rach were pinning it all weekend, but both crashed out. Gee took a slide in his final run and was knocked way down the results sheet but came out safe and well. Rach however had a savage crash in practice and was knocked out of the running. Apparently she overcooked the berm dropping into the first wooded section, went straight through it and took a tree to the leg. She was hobbling round on crutches after that... Speedy recovery to her!
3 World Champs in one place... Where else do you get that? Also Rach on crutches after her 'incident'
Anyway, that's all for now. BIG well done to everyone who gunned it all weekend and especially those who came home with some silverwear and a bottle of Fenwicks. A full report will be in Wideopen issue 7.

Cheers to the Pearce guys and everyone else who made it a fantastic weekend.
UK racing fu**in' rules!
