Australian National Round 4 – Awaba – Finals

Twelfth place for Rhys Atkinson continued Rhys' run of poor form, not that twelfth is out the back but to Rhys' high standards it wasn't the finish to the season he was looking for.

Lets review the final round of the Australian National Series in Awaba. Whilst Troy Brosnan and Connor Fearon have been the two standout riders in Elite and Under 19 men respectively, nothing in racing is guaranteed. Especially when you consider the riders snapping at their heels behind them, make no mistake these two riders didn’t come into the event with a ‘I will just cruise’ kind of attitude.

Australian National Round 4 – Awaba – Saturday Seeding

You have to give credit where credit is due! It may be a bit repetitive seeing the photos of the same riders over and over but when positions one and two put over four seconds into the field you have to take notice.

Australian National Championships’ Eagle Mountain Bike Park Finals

Sunday's temperature was definitely a stark contrast to the week leading up to finals, the results maybe not so much, second for Sam Hill. A good result for most riders but you just know Sam wanted first.
