La Bresse is a slighlty old school track, with the track being located on a wide open hill with not a huge amount of line choice but still, from the riders perspective, a fun track. Aaron Gwin needed only to finish the race 8th or better to take the overall series win.A�As the finals started Mother Nature was up to her old tricks, with rain affecting riders runs. In the end itA�looked like those who qualified 20th – 40th suffered the most. In the end Greg Minnaar took the victory (Greg andA�Aaron have won every World CupA�this year), Gee second and Aaron claimed third wrapping up the title with one race to spare. This is the first time a rider from the United States has won the overall World Cup title and the last time someone wrapped up the series with a race to spare was 2000. The Australian Contingent struggled with Mic Hannah being the best placed Aussie in 17th.
