The track was long and complete with all different types of terrain from rocks and technical to bike park style jumps and berms. The heavy rain on Saturday soaked the track and made the run really difficult do to the thick mud. The team stamped it’s authority on the track after the first round with Aurelien taking first place followed by Fabien and Damien.
By the afternoon the track had dried a lot and the tyres and suspension settings changed. Damien was first down for the team but did not have a very good run, suffering with a chest infection he found the pedalling section very difficult which left him “out of breath) for the final technical woods and made a big mistake sending him off track, fortunately he did not crash but lost his speed for the finish.
For Aurelien the run really went well and his strong physical form showed as he powered is way to the finish line with a solid second place.
