Host driver Greg Minnar of Santa Cruz Syndicate team failed to become the best. Minnar must be satisfied in a position to-2, Aaron Gwin and Minnar only a fraction of a second adrift.
Champion Elite UCI Downhill Worldcup Man last year, Gee Atherton (Commencal) this time had to settle for 3rd place. 2010 World Champions Sam Hill (Monster Energy / Specialized / Mad Catz) this time unable to do much, Sam Hill declined to diurutan-8.
Minnar team mate, Steve Peat is actually likely to be the best, Peat could survive in the Hotseat even after he was threatened many big names; Sam Blenkinsop (Lapierre International), Marc Beaumont (Team GT), Justin Leov (Trek World Racing), Steve Smith (Devinci), Andrew Neethling (Giant) and Sam Hill (Monster Energy / Specialized / Mad Catz).
Peat should be stepped down from the Hotseat after Aaron Gwin shot and moving it from Hotseat. Aaron just waiting who is capable of exceeding the record time.
Man Downhill Elite competition is very tight Apparently this season, the next series will take place in Fort William Scotland.
