It was a mixed day at Glencoe on practice day for the UK National Downhill Championships. With the morning bringing a dry track, only for the rain to come in the afternoon and totally change the track conditions. The riders battled through the weather and the track was well received by all. However, Glencoe is a tough test and it took plenty of egos today with a red flag strewn day and some big crashes. It will be interesting to see how race day develops when riders will be keener to take a few risks to try and claim themselves a national champions jersey.
We will be back tomorrow with the race results and more action from Glencoe.
@betsie I know some WC racers are there, but Mandownmedia said in the preview that Matt Walker wasn't racing because of the proximity of the Snowshoe race and I'm guessing it's why Hart, Greenland and a good few others aren't either. I'm guessing the same has also happened in XC.
Glad Mat Walker wasn't there, meant his boss didn't beat me and I got the win. xxx
