 Posted: Mon 23/Jul/07 7:06am Post subject: Glenn Haden And 2stagebikes Are Italian National Champions! |
  |
|
Glenn Haden was crowned Italian National Downhill Champion today after the final round of the series in the lovley mountain village of Ravascletto.
The course could be best described as "pedally as f**k".
Steep and rooty at the top, onto an up-hill gravel road and then into flat rooty wood section at the bottom. It was a real pedalers track.
"The track was rough as guts today and really physical so having the bike dialed was really important, thanks to Chickenman for keeping the 2stage in top shape all weekend" Glenn Haden.
Times were really close as usual with the first 5 riders within 3 seconds of each other.
Big drive now back to Morzine, then off to Alpe du Heuz on tuesday for the Megavalanche week.
1st run results
1st Sam Blenkinsop
2nd Glenn Haden
3rd Nathan Rankin
Matt Scoles was first junior.
