Matt Walker was a man possessed on the hill this weekend, taking the win in Fort William has only spurred the Junior rider on. It came down to the very last man to knock him off the top spot for the day, and even then, Charlie Hatton could only put 0.7 of a second into him.

Vero Sandler, one of the most stylish riders on the hill. When she's not racing she can be seen throwing huge no handers over massive jumps but put her between the tapes and she's got the speed as well.

Kaos Seagrave is one of the fastest juniors in the UK right now, and that means in the world, second place in Lourdes proved that. Unfortunately, a crash on Sunday morning put him out of action for the race, but he is all good and ready for Andorra in two weeks time.
