What can be said that hasn't already been said about Aaron Gwin? He dominated overall in 2012 but failed to stamp his mark on Fort William. He crashed in 2010, he crashed in 2011 and he crashed in 2012 qualifying - he was going to look more than a little stupid if he crashed again in the finals. That crash during Saturday's qualifying put him down the order for Sunday which left him sitting in the hot seat for some time as rider after rider came close but not quite close enough to usurp his position, the closest being Danny Hart just eight tenths down. It wasn't the winning margin of just a week previously in Val di Sole but it was enough to secure a 95 point lead over Minnaar in the overall.
