It's so awesome to have someone of Cathro's level giving insight to all things DH racing. When a "how to" video is posted, you know your getting great advice whether you're a beginner or expert rider.

A storming run from Lew Buchanan on (I assume) his enduro bike again. Only a fraction of a second behind Cathro, would have finished 3rd in elites.

Judging by the track looks like a dh bike wasn't required

@jimmythehat: aye true I've ridden most of that track plenty of times on my enduro bike. TBH Lewis could probably beat most people on a BMX at Inners

@johnnyboy11000: but the main question is why is he entered in expert and not elite !

@kingdick: www.britishcycling.org.uk/mtb/article/mtbst_Mountain-Bike-Category-System-Explained

probably because he raced mainly EWS over the last few years, not ranked highly enough in DH to qualify as elite

Cathro got second, that's awesome! Hope he gets a chance to race in a World Cup round this season.

Weird having a Canadian in third, why was he allowed to race?

Did Ben get any UCI points for this race? Will he be in the world cup start hut anytime soon?

From the british cycling page it would seem he would get 125 points for this race.... and world cup is 40 points to enter?

Could be wrong though

@speedyjonzalas: That's BC points, not UCI points. I think none of the UK DH races are UCI affiliated. Hence a lot of the the top brits tend to race in Europe instead

@richlong28: ah thats annoying, didn't realise that was the case. Seems strange considering it's a UK national as there can't be many races bigger than that.

1st in expert 3rd overall - no idea why he wasn’t in elite category.

Just look on the link at the bottom he’s on a different page

@ShaunR123: I presume he doesn't have the points to race in Elite as he doesnt race as much as he used to

@ShaunR123: its bizarre but I guess fits the rules.The cross over between the Expert and Elite is very muddy at the moment.
