Fort William World Cup | 4x Photos

Jun 6, 2010
by Alasdair MacLennan  
With yesterday's rush to get the 4x and downhill qualifying report up we didn't get in as many pics from the 4x as we'd have liked.

Here are some more from the main event held early yesterday evening:Sunday morning here in Fort William and the Midges are out in force. There are some black clouds looming on the horizon too, but hopefully the rain will stay away until everyone's packed up this evening. Riders will be hoping too that the wind has died down at the top by the time racing starts given the problems it was causing yesterday.

Just a quick update this time, and an excuse to show some more of the action from last nights 4x event which we didn't get time to piece together before putting yesterdays article live.

Sarsha Huntington just before she went down hard whilst running in the lead.
No update on how she is as yet but once we find out we'll pass it on.

First straight, first heat, first jump. It's a long way to come to crash out in the first round but Will Longden does just that and is gone from the running.

 From Sarshas faceook .... Looks like she will be ok, she has a gash under her knee and puncher in her leg from her handle bar which they are at this moment operating on. Add a couple more bruises and cuts and a little disappointment and that's where she is at for now.

 From Sarsha's Facebook today: Sarsha is current still in hospital in fort will with a puncher wound in her thigh that has cut right through to her femur bone. She is well bummed about it but all good otherwise and is currently tossing up whether to stick around and try and race the next round or head back to Australia.

 Santa Cruz for the bikes, Oakley for the clothing & O'Neal for the protection (with many others). A bit of a collection of personal sponsors rather than one title (well, other than calling the team the CG Racing Brigade).
