Australian National Series Round 3 – Thredbo – Seeding

Under absolutely perfect Australian summer weather, this weekend Australian Nationals Round 3 takes place in the alpine village of Thredbo, NSW. After a wild day of practice on Friday, riders were eager to see how the track would wear in over the weekend and consolidate their lines for racing. As the longest trail in the National Series, Thredbo would test riders’ endurance of high speed bumps and hits, spotted with booters and loose berms. Braking bumps are a riders best friend, or worst enemy perhaps; either way they’re in your face the whole way down.

Seeding Results:

Elite Men
Troy Brosnan – 4:51:17
Thomas Crimmins – 4:57:19
Josh Button – 4:58:49

Elite Women
Danielle Beecroft – 5:53:95
Kellie Weinert – 6:03:47
Michelle Crisp – 6:07:04

Check out photos from Friday and Saturday, practice and seeding – and stay tuned for a full race report following racing tomorrow.

Despite breaking his wrist in an awkward fall yesterday, Dean Lucas will be claiming points for the overall this weekend, and is still intending to race WC1 in South Africa. Healing vibes Dean!
