Race Report: 2020 South Australian State Championships
2020 Elite Men State Champion!
Word & Photos by Jack Fletcher
With Fox Creek still out of action after a massive bush fire, the 2020 State Championships were held at Willunga Hill in the South of Adelaide. With a stacked field of world cup and local DH legends, the top of the timing sheets would be closer than any other year. Connor Fearon would prevail from Steve Gebert with Conor Clancy taking a close 3rd. First-year elite Eddie Herft pushed hard in 4th and will be one to watch in the future. In the women's Shelly Flood took another elite title from newcomer Miguelita Prinsloo with Philippa Norton in 3rd.
A huge thanks go out to all the crew at Inside Line for running a brilliant event as always.
First year elite and 4th place only 3.9sec off the pace
Wide open dusty turns are a staple of Willunga
Grass and rocks, it can only be one place
Shelly Flood took out Elite Women's on her stolen Kona Stab which she also raced in Retro class
Plenty of holes caught the riders out in the top rock garden
Not a bad spot to watch before your seeding run
Its a cracking view, but damn it gets windy up top!
Fence sends into the creek
