Windham World Cup...the Battle of Greg Minnar and Gee Atherton
DH world cup racingHere it is the final world cup...the one that will decide who goes to the World Championships with the number one plate. It has been determined that either Gee Atherton or Greg Minnar will take the title.
Fox racing's course walk showed that riders will be kept on their toes...or pedals? Anyway, the Windham course will keep riders challenged.
The qualifying results surprised me a little bit, seeing as neither Gee Atherton nor Greg Minnar was in the top three. Instead it was Steve Peat on top. The only reason Steve Peat's first place qualifier surprised me is because he hasn't exactly had the best year, due to lack of fitness. But I was still happy for Steve.
