By all accounts, the first stop of the World Cup gravity tour in Fort William, Scotland was a huge success. The usual suspects made it into the final rounds of the 4-X with Anne-Caroline taking the women's side. On the men's side, it was her Volvo-Cannondale teammate Cedric Gracia holding his line against Lopes and taking top spot. In the Men's DH, Chris Kovaric spanked the field by more than 14 seconds, while crowd favorite Steve Peat had no less than 2 crashes and had to settle for 17th spot. Top female qualifier, Missy Giove flatted early on in her run and was forced to settle for 5th spot while Tracey Moseley took her first World Cup win ever on home soil. The course took its toll on many top riders including Vouilloz, Chausson, Gracia and Minnaar who crashed on or more occasions during their race runs. 4-X Results
