Australian National Championships – Eagle Mountain Bike Park – Saturday Seeding

The rest of the field has been chasing Troy the whole National Series, no different today, 2.66 seconds faster in seeding.

Another hot day at Eagle Mountain Bike ParkA�for today’s practice and seeding. The heat was affecting everyoneA�but at least the conditions were the same for all the riders. A quick injury update; Ben Cory seperated his shoulder yesterday and can’t race, Rhys Atkinson crashed onto his arm in practice. Rhys was stiff and sore but as he said “tomorrow is the one that counts”, no doubt rest and ice will be applied for the next 24 hours. Numerous other riders crashed due to the heat, fatigue and the track deteriorating.

Eagle is unforgiving if you are tired or not concentrating hard enough

After a third place at Canberra Todd Madsen is on fire, fourth fastest in seeding with a hiccup at the bottom of the course!
Fifth for Mitch Delfs but second through to fifth was seperated by less than a second, talk about close!
Tracey Hannah just managed to sneak in front of Jill Kintner by just under a second, tomorrow should be interesting.
Dean Lucas seeded first, it looks like a Kona rider may well be National Champion but who?
As reigning National Champ, Connor Fearon will be looking to improve on today's second place seeding result.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day as we crown our National Champions!
