Media Release

13 January 2007

Round 2 of the NZCT National Mountain Bike Series Downhill competition at Coronet Peak saw crowd favourite Glenn Haden of Wanganui take out the Elite Mens class in a unpredictable race watched by a big local crowd. Scarlett Hagen followed up her round 1 win with a massive 12 second win in the Elite Women on her home course.

Warm and dry conditions greeted the riders on the mountain at Coronet Peak today allowing for fast drifty racing for the seeding run. However by mid afternoon the rain opened up and changed the tactics completely with riders forced to ride new and largely unpracticed lines having had nothing but sunshine all week.

A record 216 riders raced at Coronet Peak with the senior mens class welcoming an additional 33 on the day riders making it the biggest class of the day.

Matthew Scoles (Alexander) again convincingly won the Junior Under 19 Men with a 11 second win over Peter Cooper (Blenheim) and David Scandrett (Christchurch) who was less than a second back in third.

Haden charged the course on his New Zealand made Stage 2 bike to win by nearly 7 seconds ahead of motocross master Des Curry (Rotorua). Surprise third was Mike Skinner of Auckland.

The women’s race saw defending National Champion Jenna Makgill in second after Vanessa Quin took a tumble on the rain affected course for third.

Tomorrow see's the first round of the Cross Country with a large field expected to open the series.
