Coffs Harbour Race Results 9th & 10th July 2011

The final round of the NSW/ACT State Series was held in Coffs Harbour on a track that saw a few new additions/alterations courtesy of the logging that has happened in the area. There was a good turn out across the classes, the biggest news of the weekend was the return to racing of Tracey Hannah. She showed she still knows how to ride a bike with a victory margin of over 30 seconds. It will be great to see Tracey back racing on the world stage soon.

Canadian Open – Crankworx 17th July 2011

The Canadian Open is the premier downhill race held during the Crankworx Festival in Whistler. Held on a track, that could double as a World Cup track, it always provides good racing. If you’re a spectator then Hecklefest is held on Hecklers Rock and is one of the best spectating events you will come across, mountain bike relatedA�or not!

Troy Brosnans favourite place on the whole track? Hecklers Rock! It took him half the track to regain his composure after passing it but it must have worked, 3rd place! Photo: Chris Blake (wyldginger.com)

Mont Sainte Anne World Cup Round 4

Aaron Gwin took out the race but the rest of the podium was made up of different faces instead of the usual contenders. The future is now.

As it did last year, for the 2010 World Championships, Mont Sainte Anne (MSA) turned on the wet and wild weather. Combined with slick rocks that littered the four and a half minute track it was always going to be interesting. MSA has held a World Cup or World Championships every year since the series inception and riders are happy to come back as the event is always well run on a proper track. This year the organisers ensured everyone watching from home had a better experience with the additon of a cable cam into the finish area. Continue reading “Mont Sainte Anne World Cup Round 4” →
