The number 1 plate for a reason, a successful weekend for Monster Specialized, both riders' results must make them hungrier for the next round though... Photo: Sean Anderson

A dry dusty track greeted riders for racing, this year the track followed the ‘old’ line, featuring a wooden wall ride to drop, rather than the switchbacks used last season when conditions were wet and slippery!

A�A� In the grand scheme of sports, mountain biking is still very young, todaya��s races, riders and results will one day be looked back on as history that formed, shaped and gave mountain biking its identity. Of these races, one will stand out from countless others, the 2011 World Championships in Champery, Switzerland, on the 4th of September.

Riders dona��t get the opportunity to sit down, take a break and roll sections, ita��s a 100% commitment all the way down.
