I like the club being listed rather than sponsor/ team name against each rider. I know money makes the wheels turn around in mtbing, but this just feels right.

A 16 year old placing 11th in Elite is pretty mad. Fair play.

@Freegs Try the same with the women's races. Sacha Earnest (under 15) fifth quickest time by a female in any category.

Tuhoto-Akiri within 2 seconds of the winner and on the podium two times in a row on his first year elite is far more impressive
